Well, I have a late 2008 13" Macbook Aluminum, (I've had it since Christmas of 2008) and just yesterday, I noticed a weird buzzing-like sound coming from the inside of it. There's also a faint vibrating feel to it. I felt around, and the vibrating feels like it's coming from under the middle of the keyboard more severely. The buzzing occasionally sounds like it's getting faster, and then slower, faster, slower, etc.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Macs been opend up at apple recently to replace the trackpad - Now i notice the internal speakers seem to be causing the keys on both sides to vibrate at certain frequencies and causing very noticeable distortion. even a simple Skype conversation becomes really bad quality because of the distortion - is this common? Can it be solved in Apple or is it just what Mac speakers are like? I dident think it did it before they opend it up.

I'm getting this horizontal bar that changes colors and sometimes the whole screen image looks like it is vibrating rapidly up and down, I'm utterly at a loss. The model in question is an Early '09 with the 9400M IGP. It just randomly started last night. I've already had a video issue that got fixed, I think it was the GPU

Mac-mini, OS X Leopard: Suddenly my wife's Leopard Mac- Mini (monitor) screen shows a 'vibrating' display that is split into three distorted parts. I can see it is the Finder shown three times. Fixing Permissions does nothing. Is this a hardware or software problem?

It's very irritating and I'm not sure what is causing it. I definitely didnt hear this noise in my rev A Macbook Air or in Macbook air sin the Apple store.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI was just downstairs in my basement using my macbook and I decided to come upstairs and when I got up here I noticed that my fan is making a weird buzzing noise. I can tell it is my fan because when I make the fans spin faster in smcfancontrol the noise gets louder. Could this be something that is in the fan or could this be a more serious problem? I can take the back case off and check but I just wanted to know if this could be a serious problem with the fan. Is there any chance I could have bent something by carrying it wrong?
View 13 Replies View RelatedAbout 5 mins ago i rebooted my Mac, and in the boot process something started to buzz horibly. I was in a dark room, so it was very scary for me and very late too... Being scared i pushed CTRL+OPTION+SHIFT+POWER so it shut down imeaditly.
I powered it on, no buzzing. But OS X did not boot at all. Just stood there. Now I'm booting of the recovery DVDto disable my EFI pass, so i can boot verbose.

iMac Flat-Panel G4 1GHz, 1.25GB Memory, Built 2003, OS 10.4.11: the 17" flat-panel display has developed vibrating vertical red lines. I have saved an iMac G5 that died; can I use it just as a monitor for my G4?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is going to date you all a lot but I have a powermac g3 (640mb ram, 300mhz) with a 15" apple crt monitor. I moved it into a new room and all of a sudden the display is virbrating slightly. If I switch the refresh rate back to 60 it goes away but then that looks so bad that I have to bump it back up to 70hz. Is there any settings that I can change to fix this vibrating? Like I said, this didn't happen until I moved the computer 20 feet into a neighboring room.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have had my MBA for almost a week, and I've had no issues so far. Until now. This is the case: The fan operates as it should. It stays on 2500 rpm at light use, and increases with heavier use. At 2500 rpm I was not able to hear it without putting my ear next to the keyboard. That was yesterday. Today the fan produces a new noise. It isn't very loud, but clearly audible at 2500 rpm in a quiet environment. It's a low, constant, buzzing kind of noise. It also increases with fan speed.

It started buzzing and I wasn't sure what it was, until a week later I got a folder with a question mark at log-in, from what I understand my hard-drive died. I replaced the hard-drive myself within a few minutes, very easy and no problems, and it runs perfectly.
It's been two weeks and it's already buzzing again. I take very good care of my Macbook but I do transport it from class and back everyday.
I just purchased the Macbook Air rev 2 120gb HD model. I it has the problems with the lines on the screen. It flickers on the one test image from the forums, but does not appear to flicker during normal usage. Also, it has a sort of CPU buzzing comming from the left side of the keyboard. It gets worse then I move the trackpad.
I was thinking of calling support on this, but I don't want to end up getting the same screen with the same problems. I was wondering if anyone has gotten any of this fixed. Is there some way that I can direct support so that they put in the correct model of screen.
My whitebook is making a buzzing sound that is coming from under the F4 and F5 keys, it can be heard a little with no background noise but when i put my ear close i can hear it much clearer.

View 8 Replies View RelatedOver the past few months or so, I've been noticing a sound, much like a buzzing, coming from the left speaker area of my computer. It seems to be near the area where I plug in the charger. The sound is not terribly loud, but when it's quiet in my surroundings, it becomes quite evident. I'm not talking about an audio-related issue, but I am just unsure as to what may be causing the sounds and whether or not I should be worried.

View 3 Replies View RelatedYesterday I started up my MacBook Pro that I've only had for about 9 months. I immediately noticed that there was a barely audible buzzing / humming sound coming the inside of the laptop, most likely in the fans. I don't know how long this has been going on, and I really don't know the cause of it. So is this something I should be worried about (the sound is barely audible)? Or is this something that happens after prolonged use of the laptop?Â

My MacBook charger has always sparked a little when I plug it in (not every time, but often), which I've read is normal, but lately, I've also been getting a pretty loud buzzing sound both from the block and from the outlet. I have taken the disconnectable cord off the block, made sure all the connections looked clean, then made sure it was reconnected snugly, but I still have the problem. I've been having to unplug and replug from the socket several times to get the buzzing to stop (if it makes a difference, I always plug into the wall before I plug into the laptop, so the charger is plugged into nothing when I plug it into the wall. The sound starts as soon as the LED turns orange, and continues intermittantly, especially if I move the mouse. The block, itself, doesn't seem any hotter than normal). The cord is undamaged, but the prongs are a little scored up at the tips. It seems to happen more readily when the charge is below 65%. I did have water damage occur several years ago (I got lucky: The only problem I had was a messed up battery), but have had no other problems with my MacBook. I've only plugged it into an alternate outlet when the charge is above the 65% mark, and have gotten no noise from the other outlet, but can't say for sure if it's because it's a different outlet or if it's because my charge is above 65%.Â
I am planning on bringing it in to see if I can get my cracked palm rest repaired (if it's covered despite being out of warranty, which I have read/been told by a fellow MacBook owner that it is) and to see about upgrading to Lion, and I plan to have them check the cord and battery (Which no longer warns when it wants to be plugged in and is at 349 cycles), but I was wondering if this is something I should be concerned about, and to see if anyone else has had an issue with it.

When my new i7 is on my usual desk (where iMac 24" white stood silently before), it sounds like a dishwasher. Or a plane engine. The low, loud vibrating noise drives me so mad I snap. It penetrates my very brain and makes it vibrate. It's audible from another room. In desperation, I raised my Mac and the sound stopped. I put it on the floor, and the machine is silent. Back on desk - airplane engine sound again. What the heck? My desk has been perfect for all my other computers, what's so special about i7?

View 5 Replies View RelatedLet me preface this by saying I am probably taking this to the Apple Store about an hour away from where I live tomorrow. For A while my MacBook Pro 13" has been making a loud spinning/grinding noise on occasion. Normally, I'd just shut down, boot up, and it would be fixed. Well, yesterday, that didn't work. After being told by the support guy that my free phone support expired 14 days ago (Mac bought in June), he said he'd do what he could to help. I told him about the noise and held the phone up to it (it is coming from the right of the trackpad). He said he had never heard that before and said to take it in to the Apple Store. I've found an Apple Support article, but it doesn't shed a lot of light on the situation.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've had my Macbook Air 1.8GHz SSD since basically the day it was announced and aside from iChat video lag and YouTube (which has only happened lately), it's been almost perfect. One of the things I particularly loved about it was how silent it was, but as of Saturday, that suddenly changed. It now makings a constant (as in, never stops as long as the Air is on) noise which sounds like a harddrive being accessed; a kind of buzzing/whirring noise. It's not particularly loud, and once about 2ft away you can no longer hear it, but it is concerning that it would suddenly start.
View 3 Replies View RelatedEver since the 10.5.7 update I've been getting issues with my macbook, this a new one. I've looked around google for any other similar incidents and there have been but none with a solution so I figured I would ask here. At random times my screen starts making noise, I say my screen because if I dim the brightness to zero it stops, and the brighter I get the higher the pitch, the lower brightness - lower pitch.
