Trackpad is making a noise when it is touched! 13" Pro

[JS82189]

Im using a 13" Pro, and when I touch the trackpad it keeps making this clicky noise. Like if I drum my fingers on the pad it makes a clicky noise!!!

You do realize that you can not only tap to click, but also push to click as well right?

Sorry, I couldnt resist. A trackpad making a clicking noise... lol.

Not when I click, it makes a click sound when it is simply touched for a fingerswipe, not the computer, the actual trackpad..

its insanely irritating

Have it check out at a Apple Store or by an authorized tech.

Well THAT takes all the fun out of tracking down the issue (no pun intended) (well maybe a little).

Check your trackpad settings in system prefs, too.

I actually just went through this with my white unibody macbook. It sounded like metal tapping on metal clicking when i touched the trackpad, and it was very clearly not a normal noise. I tried to put up with it, but it was driving me crazy.
I ended up taking it in a few times, and when no one could figure out what it was they actually replaced my whole machine.
I highly recommend that you bring it into be looked at, because its the best way to get answers (and results!). I remember being really frustrated when I was having an issue, because there was no information on it in any forums, so I just wanted to let you know that it has happened to atleast one other machine!

Maybe it's one of the accessibility settings?

it has returned!!!! AAAHHH

I really hope they dont need to replace the whole machine

it isnt from the computer, its the trackpad itself, making a click everytime i even touch it, and like when I clikc it will normal click AND make this crackling click on top of it AHHH

Ill ask apple, I have used some cleaning wipes and I am *hoping* that it is just some dried residue that perhaps I can Dust-Off? the seam is really tiny so all that pressure should do the trick..

if it isn't some dried cleaner..

...like when I clikc it will normal click AND make this crackling click on top of it AHHH:

Just encountered this problem and had to research after only seconds. my trackpad would tap to click properly but I heard the buzzing. But after I push clicked the whole pad once or twice it stopped.

Something inside there touching and making a lil 60-cycle-hum?

omg... I have this problem too. I went through 2 top case replacements for my early 08 Macbook Pro which means 2 trackpad replacements and both of them did this except with the mouse button. I thought this issue wouldn't be a problem on the newer trackpads, but it's happening again! Why does every trackpad I touch hate me? It's not just the noise – this problem makes the trackpad feel cheap and not solid when pressed.

I'm having the same problem with a MBP 6,2

I'm having the same problem with a mbp 15" 6,2 it haves 5 months and it is doing this sound a lot of times but not only when I touch the trackpad also when I touch the keyboard or any part of the laptop so... anywhere!

It sound is like if the mac have any positive charge and it desapears when i touch it... it´s something electrical.

Anyone knows the solution? I'm going to have a look on the apple forum.
