Horrible clicking noise in bottom right corner

Hello.

When i tap the bottom right corner (the whole area right form the trackpad and below the keyborad) a clicking noise happens. This is especially iritatting because whenever i type this happens constantly.

Is this a know problem and if so what could the solution be?

I have found that when i put something beneath the laptop to fill the empty space, the clicking stops.

I was wandering if i could buy something like the plastic legs found on the bottom of the xps 15 (which are narrow and long, exactly what i'm looking for) so i could adjust their hight just enough to fill the space without lifting the laptop and glue them to the bottom of my laptop, hence stoping the clicking.

Looking forward to your answers.

Thanks in advance.

It's a 2014 15" retina MacBook Pro.

The noise doesn't come from the hinge or the screen. In fact there is no similar sound when I force tap the keyboard or anything above it.

The noise only happen to the bottom right corner.

what it sounds like is that either there is a screw missing or something inside is loose. check to see if all the screws are properly screwed in first and foremost. just go and tighten all the screw even if you think it may be good. if that does not help then it may be helpful to take the bottom off and make sure all of the internal components or inserted and tightened properly and putting it back together and making sure all the screws are secured properly. I hope that this helps out and you get rid of that annoying clicking
