MacBook Pro :: System Making Loud Noises / Loud Sound On Start Up ?
Aug 23, 2009I just bought my MacBook Pro last week. When I power it up, it makes a loud noise for about a second and a half. I think it's the hard drive starting up or the disc drive. I'm not sure which one, but it's pretty loud, so I was just wondering if anyone else noticed this and if it is normal.

Jan 29, 2009I have a macbook 13". About 1.5 years old and the fan gets really loud sometimes. I know because it gets hot but it never used to be this loud. It's like I am listening to a helicopter fly by. My brother's Acer he bought for $300 is not as loud as my mac. (Not saying that it is a worse computer)

MacBook Pro :: Fan Too Loud With Low Rpm
Apr 6, 2012I bought the macbook in mid Jan 2012. At first, the fans weren't that loud. But now with only Chrome (no videos), Word, and iTunes open, the rpm isn't that high, but the fans are too loud. Why is it that the fans are running loud, but the rpm isn't that high? Is it time to clean the fans (with only 3 months after buying it)?

MacBook :: A1278 - Hot CPU, Loud Fan?
Apr 15, 2010I own a aluminum unibody Macbook (a1278), and my CPU runs hot basically anytime I run Flash in a browser. Chrome, Safari and Firefox all spike the CPU usage to upwards of 75 to 100% when even viewing a simple YouTube or Hulu clip, though sometimes, such as now, it runs hot when Flash isn't running.
Since I've noticed this, my fan has been progressively getting worse. You can hear the ball-bearings making noise and rattling when the fan gets up to and above 3000rpm's. When the fan is at it's normal speed of around 2000 rpm's, you can still hear the rattling, though it's not making the jet engine sound it does when running faster.I have since ordered a new fan for replacement, which I will be doing myself. My questions are...
1. Will replacing the fan myself void my warranty?
2. Why oh why does a YouTube clip spike my CPU temps so high? Are there settings or tweaks I could be making to avoid this?
3. Am I an idiot and overlooking some other fatal flaw in my system?

MacBook Air :: Fan Now Running Far More Loud
Jun 27, 2010I have a MBA:
Model Name: MacBook Air
Model Identifier: MacBookAir2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 1.86 GHz
Recently I have noticed that the fan is now running far more than it ever used to. I only have to call up a couple of web pages and off it goes. The fan almost never used to come on, unless I have really using the processor, so wondering what the likely problem is.
MacBook Pro :: Won't Boot And Loud Fan
Feb 18, 2012I upgraded my wife's 13" late 11 mbp with a segate 750gb drive... Same one I put in my identical hardware on snow leopard. After using lion recover to restore the whole disk (again, same process on mine) it sits at the boot logo for a long time and the fan kicks on to high.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMacBook Air :: Fan Loud At Low CPU Usage
Jun 1, 2014I have a MacBook Air Late 2010, and the fan over heats at around 30% CPU usage, I installed AppTamer to keep it down, but it is quite annoying to keep using it. Sometimes the fan will go at 18% when one application uses about 15%, but not 100% percent when its lots of other ones. App that generaly cause the fan to overheat are, obviously, high CPU ones, like Pixelmator, Photoshop, Xcode, but some times even low CPU usage, like YouTube or Video Content on Google Chrome, Safari and Google Chrome in general. Microsoft Office 2011, Pages, Numbers & Keynote. Even apps like Preview (viewing more than 5 photos ) can use alot of CPU. So what should I do? I have repairs under warranty till about September, but Apple charge £35.00 to chat online?!?! I have tried resetting the SMC which only works about half of the time. I read on the internet that it is a production issue or at least common Late 2010 MacBook Air's.

MacBook Air :: Does The Trackpad Have A Loud Click
Oct 22, 2010For the new MacBook Air owners: how loud is the click on your trackpad?
I have a black MacBook which has the separate button (pre-glass trackpad). It's almost completely silent. On almost every unibody MacBook Pro though, the click is really loud and can sometimes even be heard in the next room.
How is this with the new Airs? Still loud or not really noticeable? I like to click instead of tap, but not if everyone can hear my neurotic clicking all day long

MacBook :: Overheating And Loud Fan On 13"?
May 17, 2012I've had my Macbook Since early 2008. But only in the last 8 Months my fan has become increasingly Noisy and Hot. I upgraded to Snow Leopard last year (I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8 ) and it seems it became alot noisier after this. I originally only had 2gb Ram, but upgraded this week to 4gb ram thinking that would help. I've also gone and purchased an external hard drive and moved all my movies, photos, music etc onto this in an attempt to not only back up my files but hopefully alleviate some of my space on the mac. I've tried the Resetting SMC and also followed another apple step by step guide (??) and in my activitiy monitor nothing is even over 10% and i've been regularly checking for the last hour. I'm aware the fan is always running, but the noise is ridiculous. I've done so much research on this and i'm at a complete loss, I know there is only one fan in this version of macbook and it's definitely running as I hear it all the time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOS X :: MacBook Pro - Loud Fan And Keyboard / Trackpad Not Working
Jan 4, 2011Basically I was using my Mac and it froze so I closed the lid. When I opened it again the fan was much louder than normal. It was still frozen and wouldn't respond so I switched it off from the power button. Then I turned it back on, but it wouldn't boot past the grey screen and the fan was still loud. I read some threads here and it said to boot it in safe mode using Shift, I did that and now I'm at the log in screen. However now the keyboard and trackpad aren't responding and the fan is still loud. If I get an external usb mouse and keyboard, any advice on what to do from there?

Feb 23, 2008Is anyone else having problems using their headphones with the Macbook Air? My Shure E500 headphones have a loud hiss and instead of playing music properly, the music is filled with odd bleeps and bloops. I have a similar problem with my Etymotic headhones. I *think* the standard iPod headphones worked fine, but I no longer have them on hand to test.

Sep 22, 2009Anyone else experiencing this? My fans have been going pretty much nonstop audibly since the 10.6 install. The "normal" for the fans is about 2000rpm, and now they RARELY dip under 3000, and the "new norm" is a very audible 4000-5000rmps.
This is SO annoying! Anyone else?
MacBook Pro :: Playing MKV Files - Loud Fan Noise
Nov 1, 2009I have a MacBook Pro 2009 with a 500GB drive (WDigital, I replaced the 160GB). I was using Perian to play mkv movies, and yesterday I downloaded Plex to try it out. But in both every time I play a Mkv file the fans start spinning, I think it's the fans or maybe the hard drive. But it's quite a loud whoosh all throughout the movie. Is this normal or playing a mkv file shouldn't make any noise at all? Should it use a lot of CPU? I'm using Leopard latest version.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Fan Making Ridiculously Loud Noises
Nov 15, 2009My friend's Macbook Pro (2006, 1.83ghz, upgraded to 2gb ram) has been making ridiculously loud fan noises. We found it was coming from the right fan, sounds like something is scraping - almost a tractor engine-type sound. I have a newer Macbook Pro and I installed fan control 1.2 on both of our macs to compare. It turns out on hers, the LEFT fan is running at 0rpm and the RIGHT fan (the noisy one) is running at fairly average speeds (compared to mine, which is quiet - between 1500 and 3500rpm). The temperature seems to be on par with mine (about 115-140 degrees F). We did a PMU reset, which didn't change anything. Do I need to replace BOTH fans? I have researched it, and it seems like I could replace them if I had to.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Fan Noise Very Loud / Feel Vibrations
Feb 10, 2010Anyways, at the moment my mac is around 6 months old and just recently I am noticing that the fan is starting to vibrate- like when I type on the mac with my palms rested on the computer I can feel the vibrations. Now it is subtle but was not there before. As I am typing this the fan is at 2000 rpm. Also, when I am not out with the computer. I hook it up to my 23 inch monitor and a portable keyboard. Now when I do this I can hear a very loud noise coming form the computer while using it as a desktop. Almost as it its straining to use it. Its not so much a violent noise as it is that the fan seems to be over working.
I dont know if I am getting paranoid or if this is a serious problem- I have a 3 year warranty from bestbuy. The small vibrations I can feel form the computer seem to be like a small issue- however my friend beside me with the same model- her mac is silent and doesn't vibrate subtly. However, I am more worried about the louder noise it makes when I hook it up at work. Like when i put the computer to sleep I can tell a substantial noise different in terms of it going silent after I put it to sleep.
