[QUOTE="aonhq, post: 1297727, member: 213356"] Hi cjburr, Do not be concerned, this is very common. It is more apparent with HDD and also happens with SSD's. It's a mechanism that protects the drive heads, I experience the same noise on occasions just to the left of the trackpad where the HDD is located. This can be caused by overheating, sudden surge in power, high read/write etc. etc. If this is not compromising performance then you'll soon become immune to the noise however, if it is slowing processes down and idling for some time then present an Apple store with the problem and they will more than likely replace the HDD. My advice, as a precaution would be to back everything up now and monitor the noise for a week or so. [/QUOTE]
