Knocking sound when tilting

When I tilt the MacBook Air M1 in different directions, I hear a knocking noise. Is this normal? This was a problem with the 2017 MacBook Pro, I think.

Sound of a moving part inside M1 MacBook Air I noticed there is some part moving inside the MBA which makes sound when the MBA is shaken horizontally. That sound comes from the upper region of the keyboard (probably hinges). And it's more like haptic feedback than a sound. I am worried about that problem.

Sound of moving part inside M1 MacBook Air. I saw this question asked before! I bought a new M1 MacBook Air this week and, if I lightly shake it sideways, I can hear the sound of something moving inside. It comes from the upper region of the keyboard. Is this normal? Has someone seen this before or contacted apple support to see what the problem is?

Mac Studio vibration and noises I have a Mac Studio ( a tad over a year old) running on Sonomo 14.0. The device works fine with no issues as fas as I can tell. But there's this vibrating sound that emanates from the device randomly. It isn't consistent. I can't duplicate this noise at will. But if I move the Mac when this vibration happens, the noise stops. has anyone else experienced this issue ? Would it be better to take this Mac to my local store for a check ? What exactly are my options ? here's a video of the sounds for reference . Till about 0:22 sounds its vibrating. the moment I move it, the sound stops. p:s - I dont have Apple care .

That could be something loose in your Mac or something. I would take to a Apple Genius and have them look at it! It could even be hinger too!
