I purchased my first Mac two weeks ago (MacBook Pro 15") and i absolutely love it! I have lots to learn but I am getting lots of help from the online tutorials as well as the one to one classes. This is a silly question to ask but here goes. When I am sitting with my Mac in bed I hear what sounds like a tick tock (or clicking) coming from the inside of the Mac. This does not happen all the time, it just comes and goes sometimes (every couple of minutes).
Can someone tell me what it is???
Thanks

Only the hard drive platters ~ don't worry about it unless the clicking gets constant and LOUD.
