2018 Macbook - lifting lid and hearing a slight click - normal?

Seems others are experiencing this. It this something rubbing or sticking when opening? Very slight click like plastic or something rubbing as you open.

Google search and other places discussing it.

I think my 15” does. A very faint click from somewhere round the lid on the first ‘stage’ of opening.

Meh. I’ve had that before, apple had to replace the entire display assembly to fix it.

I had 2018 and 2019 mbps. None had that issue. Get it fixed at their own cost.

I think it might be the hardware disconnect of the microphone.

"All Mac portables with the Apple T2 Security Chip feature a hardware disconnect that ensures that the microphone is disabled whenever the lid is closed"​

Mine does it. Works flawlessly so I haven’t worried about it.

Apple replaced my screen for another issue and now mine has the clicking sound too. Usually when I open the lid or when I'm using it and move the lid to adjust the angle.

It's super annoying since it never did that before, so I wonder whether I should just let it go or ask them to fix it!
