It's not awfully loud,but it seems as if after updating to 10.6.1 that I hear the hard drive or some kind of driver engaging with a slight click or clicking-type noise while using the computer with touchpad tap to click on. Maybe it's just the heads on the hard drive engaging and disengaging, but it became much more frequent and noticeable after the update. I do work in a quiet room, so I hear everything, but this seems to have started after a few days after the computer was bought. Otherwise it works great. This noise occurred on a previous MBP 15" model with two graphic cards and larger HD, higher end model, that I returned because of both this noise and a grinding noise. This is the MBP 15" base model, though both have Fujitsu hard drives. I heard that the 10.6.2 update to come might address a graphic card driver problem, but not sure that is the noise I am hearing. I also hear this (what sounds to me like the hard drive engaging, maybe heads on drive) sometimes while the computer idles.
I love this computer and it otherwise is working great. And am afraid that if I return it for exchange, I'll end up with the same thing.
Does anyone know what this is, or have a similar sounding computer. Or an explanation?
Thanks
