I recently got the last generation MacBook Pro (early 2008) and noticed something kinda odd from the start, but couldn't put my finder on it until tonight.
There is a subtle buzzing or vibration sound coming from the top-right of the keyboard/screen hinge area, if the MacBook is tilted at a certain angle. For example, if the keyboard is angled up about 30 degrees, the vibration can be heard.
At first I thought it was the screen buzzing, but now I can reproduce it when I tilt the whole thing at a very specific angle. If it sits flat, or is at a greater angle, the sound goes away. For the most part it's not there, but I am wondering if there is something wrong with the fan or another part in that area of the laptop that makes this sound when at just the right angle.
Any thoughts on what this might be? Has anyone else ever encountered this problem?
