Do you have SSD in yours?
Oh ok..
I think i'm gonna install a SSD though, seems to fix many peoples noise problems![]()
That's a good choice, even if the sound doesn't change much. It's like a whole new computer when you install an SSD.
My macbook is only about 2 weeks old, and it's running at 2000 rpm..
Maybe it's the HHD which is making the noise.
2000 RPM is the normal speed. On the rMBPs it is imperceptible at that speed because they use a different fan design. However, even on my MacBook Air it wasn't that noticeable. Perhaps it is the HDD. The Air would get noisier, though, as it would frequently shoot up to 3000-4000 RPM or even higher.
Is it that much better?
Aight.. Yea.. I think i'm gonna try that SSD, and see if that removes the noise![]()
Can you guys hear your macbook pro when you are in a silent room?
Like, do you hear the fans, or whatever you can hear?![]()
Thx
No, under normal usage I never notice the noise unless it's very quite and I'm really listening for it. I do have an SSD in it but I don't remember that affecting the noise level of the machine.QUOTE]
Same here. I recently purchased a 13" base model cMBP, and then immediately dropped in an SSD and more RAM, so I don't know much extra noise (if any) the computer would have had if the mechanical hard drive was left in.
I don't game, edit HD videos, or stuff like that, so I imagine I'm not taxing the system and processor all that much, so the fans probably don't have to run much, or very high, which is why mine seems to be silent. As always, due to use, YMMV.
I have the i7, so the minimum fan speed is 3400-ish, easily audible
having two hard disks spnning and clicking (moXT and the OEM) does not help either![]()
The noise really annoys me, and i have no idea why it makes so much noise...
This is my first mac ever, and i've always thought that macs were completely silent, bur its not. I just dont know if that noise is normal. Some people says its normal, others dont..![]()
