It's actually 6 years.
I've had an M1 MBP & iPad Pro refunded in year 2, using consumer law.

Yes, they will try to get out of anything they can.
However, as soon as you mention consumer law (you have to tell them, as they don't volunteer the information) their attitude changes, and you have the upper hand.

hoooly crap ,6 years ? six full years during which your warranty is valid ?? should your fan fail,or a keycap of your keyboard breaks, you could ask for a fix for free !!! whoahIt's actually 6 years.

meh not rly.i know that theory but with me they've still been dicks when the law was on my side..whatever
Their hands are tied.
Ironically, the M1 MBP was refunded because of two separate issues:
1: One of the keys started to feel mushy
2: The screen made a click sound when it lit up (after opening the lid.)
Just exchange it, if it were to stop for a bit you’d always be waiting for it to do it again.
Start afresh and hope for the best.
“Anticipation of death is worse than death itself.”
However, it’s the lottery of getting a unit with worse issues, like dead pixels (which I’ve been unlucky with) a keyboard issue, speaker issue, and even the possibility of another unit that makes a similar noise.
Do you think it will go away in time?
Thanks for your advice, buddy.
I‘m not an engineer and didn’t design the hinge so don’t know if it will go away.
What I do know is that it bothers you enough to post on here and that is enough for me to advise replacement.
You could get lucky and have zero defects.
As someone who also usually has to cycle multiple units to get one I’m happy with I do understand the desire to get a decent unit.
I got lucky on my first 13 Pro and the iPad Pro 12.9 I’m answering this on so who know.
Another thing I’m 100% sure of is that your expectations have not been met and you will never be happy with that machine and it is effecting your enjoyment of an expensive piece of hardware.
Seriously, just replace it.
If you have enough money I'd suggest you BUY another MacBook and keep the one u prefer ,instead of exchanging and regretting what you had previously
Just checked availability, and it's not available, so that's not an option.
I'm just going to think about it for a bit longer.
Thanks.
It only took 70 posts for you to make up your mind. Don‘t ever get a job as an air traffic controller or planes will be falling out of the sky. 
It was a discussion, regarding not only the issue I had, but also other people’s issues.It only took 70 posts for you to make up your mind. Don‘t ever get a job as an air traffic controller or planes will be falling out of the sky.
An air traffic controller couldn’t pay me enough.
I’m already caked in money.
I’m glad you’ve returned it, regardless of your “caked” situation you need to be happy with your purchase.
Fingers crossed the new one is a winner……..keep us posted…….oh and Merry Christmas!
Hello brother.
I was just being facetious in that post. I’m really not flash like that.
There were no replacement units, so I just got a refund.
Delivery dates are a month away, so I’ll just check stock levels for collection every day, then grab one when I see one available.
Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas.
Look after yourself, buddy.
It's very noticeable
Besides it now isn't sporadic like before eh ? Happens all the time it'd seem
