Weird clicking noise?

[Huddle]

I got my brand new 750 GB 15'' Macbook Pro Late 2011 about a month ago, and now it is making a weird clicking noise when I rest my left hand on it and give it a little push down. It is like the sound of a Geiger–Müller tube like a little click. Is this my harddisk failing or what could this potentially be? Perhaps I'm missing something and this is just something simple, but it worries me.

Thanks

Its a component in the middle of the MBP with springs inside. It connects the top case to the bottom case via two spring loaded pins. I think its for grounding purposes. Look at this link: http://www.6ixpassions.com/post/1095520847/fix-the-ticking-clicking-sound-in-your-macbook-pro
Another link said you can just use a strip of wire tape (that conducts) and place it where the two pins would touch the bottom case. This stops the noise but doesn't affect the functionality.

I think thats what it is in your case. To make sure it is not your HDD, turn of your MBP and see if the clicking persists.
