[QUOTE="Strukt, post: 870925, member: 61185"] I have a similar noise on my Aluminum 13-Inch MacBook. It is kind of a faint clicking noise. It doesnt bother me, and I need to concentrate to really hear it. I think it could be related to the sudden motion sensor as you have described, or the drive might go into occasional powersaving mode. I havent had any problems with it at least ... However if you are worried you could get an cheap external USB drive. Connect it to your Mac and backup your drive using time machine for example. Just to be on the safe side. Hard drives can fail.
