    Does anyone else ear sounds from their laptop.
    I don't know how to describe the sounds exactly they're almost like: creak, pop, snaps.

    Is it the internals changing due to the heat generating inside the case from operating? It is getting annoying, because it makes me worry. Just another thing to add to the long laundry list of things I've disliked about this notebook.

    It might just be your hard drive. The needle makes noises as it moves/reads. The CPU will also make some slight noise if its under stress. These are normal noises. But if you feel that its more than the normal computer noises, you should do what Jun85 recommended, at least for peace of mind.
