Well, I thought that this was normal for a while now, until I talked to a few of my friends (with both 2010 and 2011 models) and found they didn't have this issue at all.
Basically, one corner (from what I can tell) of my lower case makes a loud cracking noise (different from the creaking of the small springs in the center) when pressure is applied in a certain area. The amount of pressure required to induce the noise is low, to where it creaks sometimes just when typing or clicking, and it's rather annoying.
I have not yet opened my case, and all the screws are still in where Apple left them.
Has anyone else had a similar issue (after opening the case maybe?) and if so, what did you do to remedy it?
I took a short video of the noise, I apologize for the poor lighting and quality, my cell phone camera sucks and I didn't have any other camera available.
