Hi, I do not know if I am paranoid, but I started to notice that if I leave my MacBook Pro 16 inch open all the way or at a lid angle of more than 90 degrees for about 10-15 minutes or more, I hear a super small click noise the very moment I start to close the lid. Is this a normal behavior for a MacBook or is the hinge supposed to be dead silent 100% of the time? Just to be clear, if I repeatedly open and close my Mac, no noise comes out or even if I keep it open at an angle of more than 90 degrees for about 2 or 3 minutes and then try to close it. This only happens the instant I start to close it after it has been resting in an open lid position for about 10-15 minutes. This isn't any large popping noise. It's a small click noise. if convenient can anyone try to replicate this to check? I just want to make sure that nothing is wrong with my laptop before I go to college. Thanks in advance.
