Laptop Makes a Weird Noise
Your computer shouldn’t be making weird noises in the course of regular operations. If it does, chances are something is going wrong. Depending on the noise, it could be a small problem or a major warning that something is about to go really really wrong. Here are some common noises we hear and potential diagnoses:
Clicking – This is probably your hard drive and is a very very bad sign. If your drive is clicking, back up as much data as you can and bring it in immediately.
Loud Whirring/Whining – Probably your fan getting clogged. Get it cleaned out ASAP.
Non-Stop Beeping – This is your motherboard telling you there’s an issue. Usually it’s something simple like a stuck key, but it can also be a sign of a failing CMOS battery or other worse problems.
