My MacBook keeps making this weird noise when I turn it on or open it. I think its the fan but I'm not so sure because I also think its the battery. Does anybody know what it might be?
Is this a good question?

Normally the Book will try to access the optical drive first. (whirring noise), Then it goes to the hard drive (sometimes a clicking sound). A squeeking noise can be made by capacitors going bad. Fans can make a screeching or chirping noise if going out. It all depends on the type of noise, and the location. Is this a new noise? Remove the battery and start up with just the AC adapter connected to eliminate it first. As rj asked, a better description is needed to help you.

I just looked up "reason Mac would start making noise on start up" and found this thread! My new Mac (got it about 5 months ago) suddenly started making a noise on start up that seems to be coming from the right-hand side where the DVD player (sorry can't think of what it's actually called) is. It sounds like it is starting to play something or moving- hard to describe otherwise...like vvrmmm...vrummmm (lol), like switching back and forth. It never used to do it and I'm a bit worried because now it does it with every start-up. I don't believe I've ever used the player part before either.
Thanks for any help

@mailes - Smick you'll need to give us more than this. You should also create your own question as this one is quite old.
