What's that mysterious ticking noise?

[postsanity]

Nice title, yes?

Anyway, I have a new Macbook Pro and got it about two or three months ago.

I am just wondering why, when I close the lid, it makes a ticking noise. It is as if something is stuck in the hinges but I've checked and cleaned it and it seems fine. Anyone else had this problem or know how I should fix it? It used to be smooth and ticking-noise-free, but now its gone funny.

Thanks

There's a bomb in your computer. You should send it to me to disarm it.

[Though, it could be a number of things: (1) Hard drive head parking, (2) sticky hinge, etc]

Ticking is usually a hard drive issue.
