    Strange annoying noisy inside 2019 Macbook Pro 16 inch

    I bought this MacBook in April. The sounds started a couple of months ago. Apple service hasn't found anything. Because the sound is not constant. Who has encountered something like this?

    Strange and annoying fan noise in brand new iMac 27" 2020 (incl. audio file)

    Hi, I just replaced my late 2013 iMac 27" with a 2020 model to get the Big Sur experience :) Unfortunately my new iMac sounds strange - the fan make a clacking or engine like sound all the time when running at lowest RPM. iMac is 10 days old and does it ever since. Is this normal? I hope not...

    iPad Pro IPad Pro 11” 2018 - Screen Popping/Creaking Sound

    Hi everyone, I’ve had a perennial problem with my iPad Pro - already once replaced by Apple for the same reason. For whatever reason, there’s a clicking, creaking, or popping sound whenever the lower left corner (portrait mode) of the screen is tapped or pressed. From what I can tell, it feels...

    MacBook Pro 2012 Whirring Noise

    Hello everyone, A few days ago my faithful 2012 MacBook Pro began making a noise previously unheard by my ears. I would describe it as a kind of "whirring" sound from the left half of the computer (somewhere by the QWERTY keys), but not in the hard drive area (I have a Samsung 860 EVO SSD)...

    Hi everyone, Picked up a new 2019 16” MBP base model w/ 512GB storage. Installed windows using bootcamp and then noticed an intermittent electronic scratching sound. With no apps running, I opened up the task manager and monitored CPU speed and saw that every couple of minutes the cpu speed...

The internal drive I believe is on the way out as its clicking and whirring a lot, I'm not bothered about any further damage to the drive as I have the SSD running my OS. BUT its a super annoying noise...

    A1398 2015 - wearisome fan whine

    I've got A1398 2015 (2.8, R9 370X, High Sierra) which I was dreaming of for years! I bought it for silence as Apple values it much - and got something pretty different. First of all - paste is fresh (MX-4), fans are clean, SMC and NVRAM are reset. I undervolted with Volta (-60mv), turned off...

    AirPods Pro Background Noise for person on other end

    When I use my AirPods Pro, the people I am talking to on the other end can hear EVERYTHING in the background very very loudly. Meaning that it is very very loud for them, everything I am doing is very amplified. Anything I can do to reduce the noise that the person I am talking to hears?

    MacBook Pro 13’ 2017

    Top keys are making a weird clicking sound. Computer is not hot, it’s very cool. This is the first time this happens since I got it. Purchased about 13 months ago.

    Yes the 16" MBP does run quieter with an eGPU on an external Monitor

    I share this information with you because I saw it coming up in several Threads if the 16" MBP connected to an eGPU does (and if how much) run quiter compared to having the monitor connected to the internal dGPU. And it does. Obviously. Quite a bit, in my personal use case - Webdevelopment (CPU...

    Keyboard noise - add an isolation layer UNDER the keyboard?

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 2019 Do you think I can open/disassemble my macbook, and put a layer of sound-isolation UNDER my keyboard? The noise I am trying to get rid of is not the noise of the mechanical click of the keys, instead it is the noise of the mac itself acting as a sound box, as a...

    CPU temps – 27 in vs 21.5

    I've done a lot of reading about how on the 27in iMac, the 4.2 Ghz i7 version runs hot and spins up the fan, while the 3.8 Ghz i5 version seems to run cooler. I was wondering if the 21.5 in iMac with the 3.6 Ghz i7 runs hot or not? Does anyone have any CPU temps to share? I was basically...
