Hi,

i've had my 15"-2016 for about a week now and just today (one of?) the fans started to make a noise. Before, I didnt even realize they were running all the time because the MB made no audible noise whatsoever. Now it sounds like the fan is catching on something very lightly - it has to be quiet to hear. What I would consider normal in any other device makes me a bit nervous because the noise stops as long as theres some kind of acceleration on the chassis - say pick it up on the front and tilt it towards me for example. As long as it moves, the bearing/catching noise is gone.

Anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: here seems to be the same problem: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...eird-fan-noise-on-a-late-2016-mbp-15.2020710/
