User level: Level 1 (4 points)MacBook Air M5 weird noise when moving
When I have my MacBook Air M5 opened, and then do a movement like turning it (without moving the hindge, turning the entire machine), it makes a very loud "ta" noise coming from the keyboard/left hand side of the hindge. I don't know if this is normal or is there's something with my hindge.
When my lid is closed and doing the same thing, that noise would not come out.

I cannot even begin to imagine what you are experiencing, so I'll just suggest that you take the computer to your friendly neighborhood Apple Store and have someone there give a listen.
