Well, when you adjust the volume, the Mac plays a feedback sound, it sounds like a pop. To turn of this feature, go to: System Preferences>Sounds>Play Feedback sounds When Volume is Adjusted>Exit System Preferences. Try Now.

If you are pressing random keys and your cursor is not in a text box, your Mac is going to make noise. To change the noise (You can't turn it off) go to: System Preferences>Sounds>Customize System Noises>Exit System Preferences. Try Now.

If it is a clanking noise or something similar, it is probably a hard drive or cooling fan issue. If this is the case, bring it in to an Apple Store to have it fixed as soon as possible.

Tell Me if that works, I also have a Mac, so I'm Right there with you. Go Apple!

My MacBook occasionally has a problem where the sound stops working and i have to shut down my laptop and turn it back on. I have a refurbished MacBook. Not a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air; just the original MacBook. If anybody knows why this is happening please tell me, and don't tell me to just buy a new computer. Thank You

Why is your Mac making noise?

The only reason your mac would make noise is if it is cleaning its self. If you first get a mac it might clean its-self more often. Once the mac is comfortable in its new home it will stop making the noise. I work at the apple store, and I can a sure you that your computer is fine. Remember to stay calm because all macs do make the sound, it is completely normal, and your mac will eventually stop making the noise, once it is use to it place.
