MBP noises...

[powz]

I just noticed a low rumbling sound (when I first heard it I thought my stomach was growling...) when my MBP loads anything from the hard drive. This is in addition to what I would consider the regular sounds... Has anyone else noticed this? Should I be worried?

On a related note, someone posted a link to all the sounds Apple considered "within spec" but I can't find it now. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Have you used Disk Utility to verify or repair your drive?

Thanks, I'll check that. I might as well do a full hardware test, too.

I called Applecare and the only thing they could suggest was resetting the PRAM.....which did nothing.

I might just send it back for a replacement as I'm also having the yellowing issue on my screen ......... baaaad Apple.

Well post back with how the tests go all the same. Hopefully we can get this fixed for you soon.

I ran the general extended hardware test and it turned out OK. BUT here's what I got when I ran the Disk Utility:

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

and

1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair

Edit: Ran Disk Utility from the install disk and it worked. Fixed a small issue but the rumbling's still there. Called Applecare for the 2nd time and they couldn't suggest anything else...so I guess this baby's going back to Apple.

Remember to keep repairing the drive until no changes are made.
