noise

I have a 2012 base Mac mini that I use for internet and email and in six years of use I have never heard any fan or other noise coming from this computer. I'm now going to purchase a new mini and I want it to be equally silent--everything else is of secondary importance. In configuring my new...

Ive noticed that my new MacBook Pro 2018 15inch is making a very minimal crackling/ static fan noise. you don't hear it when the fan is blowing so much. but when the fan is not on full force and just on low I could hear the very minimal crackling/ static noise. its not always there and its not...

1.) Does better CPU in macbook (quad-core vs dual-core i5) will alow macbook to generate less heat? 2.) Does more RAM (16GB vs 8GB) allow macbook to generate less heat i.e. be cooler? 3.) Does dedicated graphic card in 15" version macbook pro, allow macbook to stay cooler while watching youtube...

I plan on getting these but wanted to know how good they are at keeping outside noise out. Such as when going cycling, will it keep out background noise, such as wind, etc. and will they be loud enough for me to actually hear my music or whatever material that I'm listening to. And for talking...

I just bought the i7 2.6GHz, 512G version and noticed there is coil whine. It's pretty audible all the time and becomes loud when I use VM. Anyone else having it?

Hi there, I upgraded to a new 15" Macbook Pro 2018 from my 2012 retina model. I mainly work with audio software. When running the same project on both machines, the new macbooks fans run considerably louder. When comparing in Macs Fan Control, it shows that the new macbook has a CPU temperature...

Anyone else noticed their speakers randomly crackling on the new MacBook Pro 2018? It happens every so often for me. Only saw one other report so far here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8466796 =============== Edit by Weaselboy Moderator Note: Also see the discussion in the news...

I have never ever thought about using a laptop as my main video editing / rendering platform. I can understand the situation is kind of complicated for power users now that the Mac Pro seems to be on halt until next year. Still I consider laptops as a second option and not even a real...

Hi, I am this >< close to buying an iMac Pro (10 core). However, I am an audio engineer who needs as close as possible to silence in my studio. Over the last 20 years, I have gone to great lengths and untold expense to achieve silence. I have seen articles and YouTube videos for months...

I bought 2 Seagate ST8000NM0075 to have in my Mac Pro 5,1. They are hooked up to a Areca 1882i through the MaxUpgrades MaxConnect BackPlane Attachment (pin 3 on the sled desoldered to solve the startup problem.) One drive is manufactured dec 2017 and is fast and quiet. The other drive is...

Hello! My new iMac has started making some wierd noise, I got it 1 week ago and I didnt noticed this until today. I dont hear it always, it comes and goes sometimes. I think when scrolling. It reminds of a 2.5" 5,400rpm HDD noise when working. My system details: iMac 4k 3,4 GHz Intel Core...

Just noticed a very faint electronic noise coming from the SSD in my 2015 15in rMBP. I only noticed it last night while working in a quite room, and don't recall ever hearing it before having had this laptop since 2015, but then I've mostly used the machine while outside of my home. This is what...

Apple exchanged my display with a new one after having a gray spot on my screen. After the exchange, there are some creaking noises that come from the right side of the underbody. The noises are unregular and come only 1 to 4 times a day. I was in apple store and they told me there wasn't any...

2013 mbpr So I was scrolling through iCloud photos today on safari using my rMBP when I noticed a relatively quiet, albeit noticeable clicking like sound coming from what I believe is the area where the processor is located (near the esc key). I searched online but found no real answer. I did...

Just realised this during the past couple of days. Recently when having my MacBook Pro placed on a desk and resting my palms somewhat firmly, upon raising my palm I hear a creaking noise. It's hard to describe. Similar to the sound of metal expanding due to different temperatures. Is this a...

I am new to iMac and got a 2017 27" iMac for Christmas - all is well until I noticed the constant humming of the fan - It's not loud, but it's audible enough to make the work space noisy. The fan is on constantly @ 1200 rpm or so. I have tried to reset the SMC several times to no avail... Fan...

Hello! I got a MacBook Pro (15", 2017 model) which is only a couple of months old. Today I noticed something about the trackpad, and I want to ask you guys whether this is a normal thing - because to me it sure does not sound normal. Problem: only when I tap the trackpad a bit harder than...

I just got a HDD for my golden oldie Mac. In a classic example of the disadvantages of on-board sound, when the HDD writes or reads, the static byproduct coming through my speakers/headphones sounds like an there's an Atari game running in the background. I have two older HDDs attached, and...

Hello! I've had this macbook for a while now and it has been waking this weird noise for about 6 months. I was wondering if anyone knows what is causing this issue and what would be some solutions. Sometimes, the computer will slow down when the noise occurs. Specs: Macbook 13" Late 2011 i5...
