Whenever I open/close my MBP there is a noticeable creaking sound (sveral times until I fully open/close it) which doesn't sound very good or normal.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Should a Apple Store let you swap it for another one (without paying a restocking fee)? I only bought it this past weekend.
 
Appears to be coming from the bottom of the screen. Also when I hold it, it also makes a creaking sound, especially if I hold it from one side. It's really pissing me off, and I don't want to have to deal with problems in the long run.
 
This reminds me of this thread I saw the other day on notebook review. This guy wanted a replacement MBP because his right option key made a funny sound when he pressed it. I mean, who even presses that key???

Wait, weren't you the one that demanded Apple to take your MBP back and modify your firewire, usb, etc to the RIGHT side?
