Anyone notice a tiny dropping clicking sound near the left speaker? Its weird... it does it pretty often... like a hollow dropping three clicks.

Does anyone suggest anything?

Haven't heard that sound, sorry! Still wondering about the grinding whirring sound that I get from the middle right once in a while.

If you run Photo Booth does the noise stop? My MBP just arrived and I seems to be having the noise issue. I beleive I have that Idle CPU noise. When I run Photo Booth it goes away.

A CPU does not make noise.

Most certainly it´s the hard drives noise
