Macbook Fan question...and more

[amrk47]

I don't mean to hijack this thread but I have a question about (what I assume to be) the fan in my MB. If not the fan, my next guess is the hard drive.

I've had my MB almost a week now. No problems at all. I hear the fan blowing which is fine. It's pretty quiet. However, I hear a faint clicking/ticking along with it. I can't really hear it unless the room is completely silent, which is how I heard it.

The clicking is constant and when I shut down my MB, it gradually died down. So whatever is, my guess is it's spinning. Everything is functioning properly and I have no problems. I'm just wondering if this is normal or if it's something I should have looked at. Thanks!

yea u should get it looked at
no ticks here

Actually it's not a click/tick now that I listen again. It actually sounds like a motor. It's still very faint though. I hear it at the back of the MB near the vents. Is that the fan?

Haha thanks! It's my first Macbook and first Mac, in general. I've never heard a fan sound like that before but good to know it is just the fan. ;D
