[QUOTE="mvesterby, post: 992069, member: 142496"] [b]MacBook Pro Unibody tick nose when battery cover is pressed[/b] I am experiencing the same issue. At first it was just a slight sound that didn't happen too often but now it happens every time I rest my hands on the computer. The bottom seems to get hotter than when I first got it as well. I just purchased it in August of 2009. I have the 17" Antiglare with solid state drive. It is getting very frustrating to hear that all the time now. I took it to a genius at the Apple Store because I was concerned that it was electrical but he assured me it wasn't. We agreed that it must be the aluminum shell and I left it at that but now I am frustrated that it is doing it even more. Makes me very concerned that something is coming loose and will cause a problem with all my data on it. I am going to call Apple to see about getting it replaced but what a hassle.
