MacBook Pro 14” Clicking

[swfcdm1]

Anyone with a MacBook Pro experienced the bottom making a clicking noise? Sounds like the bottom cover hitting the internals only happens when picked up on one side

Click Gate ?

See this thread I put up in June 2022 about my own "tickin' 'n' clickin'" experience:

I don't have your issue, but something similar.

If my MacBook Pro 14 heats up from doing something intensive, there will be a small click from the chassis. It sounds like a sharper and quieter mouse click sound.

From my testing, it seems related to the bottom panel rubbing against the chassis due to thermal expansion.

Kind of annoying but I already went through several returns related to QC defects. Might remove the bottom panel and reseat it to see if it fixes it.
