MacBook Pro 16" clicking sound bottom case

[metrixc]

Hi there,

I recently got my MBP 16'. When I rest my palm on my case it makes a creaking sound when even the slightest bit of pressure is applied to the wrist/palm rest area. With me it is on the left side next to the trackpad. You can try it yourself by pressing slightly on the mentioned area.
Any idea what this could be?
Just curious if other people also have it and if a visit to the Apple Store might be necessary.

Thank you in advance!

Still having the issue? It seems my MacBook is affected, too. I have prepared a video highlighting the issue. See

Yep mine just started doing it - sounds like the glue has failed. Mine is different to the video - bottom right of the palm rest on mine.

To everyone that is having this problem. Here is what I did. I had to go to the Apple Store twice to convince them that it was a hardware issue. The second employee was really helpful and told me, that it could be related to the gluing of the battery and the lower parts attached to it. Apple then shipped it in and they replaced the lower part, which btw. also includes a new battery since it is all one part. So don't let them talk it off, stay on it.

Best regards and luck to all of you.

I recently received a replacement MBP 16" from Apple and started noticing this. Seems to randomly click on the left hand side of the computer. Starting to wonder if I should ask for another replacement within their 14 days window if it keeps getting worse.

This was one of my first major issues with the 2016 model as well. But the popping sound was a lot more pronounced.
