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)

Aug 15, 2009Last Night after installing a new hard drive into my mac pro. I reset the system to format the drive. However when i turned it on, Straight from bootup the fan was running extremely fast and sounded like a jet engine. This did not stop through the system fully loading so figured I would turn off the machine for the night and see if the problem would be fixed in the morning. But the same thing just happened again. Does anyone have any idea what this may be, or how to fix it?

View 4 Replies View RelatedMacBook 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)?

PowerPC :: G4 Fan Noise Getting Too Loud
Mar 14, 2007I had the fans and HDD replaced in my 1.67Ghz PB G4 in January, but I think the fan noise is getting too loud again, plus the HDD randomly squeaks and squeals. The problem with the random squealing is that I can never start the camera on my phone quick enough to record it, and it is completely random! Does anyone know what the normal operating noise is for my laptop, or where I can find this out from? The normal fan noise is OK, but when the processor is under full load and the fans kick in to full speed, it sounds like the vacuum cleaner is on in the room. Should I take it back to the shop? It was 'repaired' roughly 2months ago.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: How Loud Are The New Machines In General
Mar 15, 2009how loud are the new machines in general? How much louder do they get under load? How much of the noise is contributed by the graphics card? How do they compare to the 2008 MacPro or to the PowerMac G5?Many questions, I know. I have a G5 Quad 2.5 at the moment, at it is rather loud, especially under load. Back then, I bought it with a better graphics card (7800) and exchanged the graphics card fan with a quieter fan from Zalman. This eliminated the annoying, high-pitched sound, but the complete machine is still very audible.

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 5 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Low Fan Speed But Loud Fan Noise?
Jul 3, 2012I've noticed that most Macs have their fans run around 2000RPM, maybe 1300RPM. I was surprised to find that my CPU fan runs at only 500RPM pretty much all the time. However, it is much louder than those other Macs that have higher fan speeds.
Oh, and in case there is a misunderstanding, the fans are NOT running fast, and the temps are low. I've seen a few people complaining about this only to have answers about reducing the fan speed.

MacBook 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.

Hardware :: Fan Blows Hard And Loud
May 13, 2008I have an iMac G5 (w/iSight), running 10.4.11. I've had two episodes where the fan inside of the iMac is blowing fast and loud. Once, it started when the iMac was in the sleep mode and I was "waking it up." The other time, it was already blowing hard when I entered the room. (I didn't do anything. It was just like that on that time.) The first time, I couldn't seem to get the iMac to do anything. I finally unplugged the computer, waiting a minute or so, and plugged it back in. Everything seemed to be normal. I still called Apple (I have iCare) and reported it. The second time, I called Apple again, just while it was still blowing hard.
The specialist had me power down, power up, and then run the utilities to check the hardware. Results came back nominal. Both times, I reset the PRAM too. Apple told me after the last time that if it happens again that I should take the iMac to the store for checkout. I'd rather not, as the closest store is 225 miles away. I've also had some noisiness from the CD/DVD drive. It's run loud enough that people on the Apple end of the phone (on other trouble calls) noticed. Otherwise, the functionality of the unit is fine.
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
