Noise when opening MacBook Pro lid

[FabTBC]

I have a 13 inch 2016 MacBook Pro with TB and have noticed that when opening the lid of my laptop after it was fully shut, that occasionally I will hear a noise (as if something is shifting in the display) and feel something moving inside. There have been reports that when you shake the laptop, that people can hear/feel something inside. Is this the same as what I'm experiencing simply when opening the hinge?

Might be. What is moving is a diffuser panel in the display. It is loosely fit to allow for expansion.

But...but...they're thinner....they have a super thin keyboard....

I only know the 2012 and earlier, but the hinges have screws that attach to the screen portion and they can come loose or even fall out and rattle around in the clutch cover.

Cockroaches probabilities.

This is the most likely explanation, nothing wrong that’s just how they are made and it doesn’t cause a problem.
