Weird sound coming from Asus UX391UA
Just got an Asus UX391UA. The laptop works like a charm, but I am a little worried about the sound coming from the computer. So I wonder if any of you can identify the sound.
The sound is quite low and discrete and it sound almost like the sound a mechanical hard drive makes when it writes or reads from disk. But the laptop has an M.2 SSD.
You can listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/user-341947109/ux391ua-sound
Should I be worried that the sound might be indicating that something is wrong with the computer?

Not sure this is an answerable question, since it is probably exclusive to your machine. I had an issue when my last laptop was new where there was a thin piece of plastic that was loose in the fan housing, causing it to make weird clicking noises on occasion. Could it be something like that?

I doubt it has something to do with moving parts. It sound more like voltage spikes or perhaps just the sound from the CPU itself. I would avoid opening the laptop so to keep the warranty.

I think that something is wrong with such a sound being made by a computer with only an
SSD disk.
Not necessarily a serious problem, but it requires checking.
Checks :
- If any application is using the speaker
- Disconnect all possible devices
- Boot in Safe Mode
- Verify all moving parts such as the CD (if any) and fans.

The specs of the model indicates that there should be no components with moving parts. Will try safe mode though but I doubt it will help.

So I got the laptop swapped for a new one. It turns out that they both make this sound. The new one I got seems like a "refurbished" one, but it works flawlessly. Although the clicking sound is somewhat reduced on the new one I might just be super sensitive about it, now that I first noticed it. I still do not know what is actually causing the sound, but since it is merely impossible to investigate this without opening the laptop I will make this an answer.
