No squeaks. I called customer service at the company once and they were so good. Why not try that?

I can't say that mine squeaks. There is a little rubbing noise, but not a squeak.

I had same problem after about 2+ years ownership - one day it became incredibly noisy. It was distracting and not easy to work!So I did what any young scholar of my X/Millenial generation would do - googled it.Fix ended up being the fan/spindle requiring a few drops/helpings of di-electric grease. Read up on the process here (best version I found to take it apart): http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/toshiba-u945-s4390-disassembly.759534/

Sorry to hear that. It sounds like a defect. I haven't had any problem with mine. I think I've had it over a year now. Good luck.

We have actually experienced the same issue with the banging sound. It isn't consistent from use to use or even within one session. It doesn't appear to alter the performance, but it is certainly annoying. It isn't clear what the cause is so I'm hoping it isn't causing internal damage to the machine.

Nope. Hadn't had any issues. Then again, my case has good airflow... It works perfectly for me.

The fan isn't any louder then a normal case fan. Most of noise comes from the hard drives spinning, which can vary from none if using ssds or very loud if using something that is 10k plus.

I did not notice this issue with mine. I have using this laptop for about 6 weeks, so far I did nit see that issue. But I am not using it everyday.

Have not had that problem at all. Laptop is working great. Sorry about your troubles.

Have not experienced that situation. Product has been installed for over 4 years. Have you contacted Monie, they are warranted for life. Not sure if a squeak is included in that, but never hurts to ask.

Does anyone who installed windows 8 have trouble with a very loud fan noise? I contacted acer support about the fan noise and they said windows 8 might be the problem.

Mine rattles. Power it up and the rattle goes away. I to believe that this is normal

Did you ever figure out what causes the noise? I have exactly the same problem. I does sound like the belt is rubbing against something.

Mine is noisier than I would expect at times, but nothing that has caused me too much alarm. I thought I heard it click a few times, but so far nothing reproducible or any overheating.

I bought the Asus 1005HA-P a few months ago and I have the same audio problem. It's like the jack lost its 'tightness'... I guess I'll test out the warranty soon. Keep you posted.

No, It's not normal. It's probably 60 (Hz) hum. Try reversing you AC plug, that should fix the problem 90% of the time. If that doesn't work try grounding the case.

I only had this problem on my first two start up.The fan was very loud, not sure what the problem was.but now i had the laptop for about 2 weeks now it seem like the fan has quite down.

Mine makes a small noise, too, when I push down the corners. I don't think anything is "cracking," per se; I think there's just a small amount of flex in the screen/circuit board assembly, and it's moving slightly in the more-rigid back case. I think the only way to avoid that would have been to glue the screen solidly into the back case, which would have made it completely unrepairable. (I'm not sure that it can be repaired as it is, but a bead of glue around the whole screen would certainly have foreclosed any such possibility.)
