Sorry, but we can't do much about it.
Your best bet is to call Dell and ask for a replacement keyboard if the one you have is flawed. -
Try updating your gfx driver and the Bios.

haha nice one kimjo42 xD .. and thanks katalin but i did ask a frnd of mine who owns an alienware 2 .. so he was like it happens and will go in sometime .. there is vacuum below the key which holds it tight but if there is a slight bubble of air .. that makes this noise which will go off with time ...
and thanks guys

I know what you mean but seeing how fragile they are and not knowing your level of experience I couldn't advise you to take the key off and have a look, risking to break it

Wow this thread actually reminded me of a squeaky shift key I had before. It was a minor annoyance but I just came to realize that it doesn't make that sound anymore. Perhaps over time the squeak will go away.

When I got my alienware, a few keys had like extra plastic on the bottom of them, which caused them to stick and squeak. I carefully removed the extra plastic by just fatiguing it. Like those model airplane kits who's parts you have to punch out, and sometimes a piece of plastic will be on it that you have to remove. Though do it at your own risk if that's the problem.
