If I turn a headphone plug around in the headphone jack, it makes really loud and weird creaking noises. I just want to make sure that my Macbook Air isn't the only one which does that.

I already had a close look into the jack, but nothing seems to be wrong with it.

Is the noise coming from the physical components, or is the noise heard in the headphones? – bneely Dec 7 '11 at 22:18

Oh, sorry that I wasn't clear about this: it comes from the physical components. – mcb Dec 7 '11 at 22:27
Its Coming From My 13" Air Late 2012 when the apple earbuds are plugged in but not with the others. MacBook Pro does same thing with Apple Earbuds. – user46366 Mar 30 at 18:32

There is no such sound coming from mine. Sorry to say this - but it sounds like you have a repair coming your way.

It might still just be the headphones though - have you tried with different sets??
