[QUOTE="Promethius, post: 872624, member: 109320"] Its the 320GB one, it doesn't make the noise a lot. I can only hear it when it is dead silent and I read that it may not be the motion sensor. The noise literally only occurs when the laptop is sitting idle with literally no applications running. It is only really audible when I am just surfing the net. According to Apple, this is because when there is no activity the HDD parks its head to prevent damage, so maybe you aren't hearing it because you are running applications over night that require use of the hard drive. I definitely would have it checked out if it was causing me problems, but the laptop is working perfectly and all the checks say that everything is fine. Besides, its normal for laptops to make a little noise right, I mean this is nothing compared to my HP laptop HDD noise. [/QUOTE]
