Hello, 
I've had a few build quality issues too. However, I beleive the click when the computer is moved is the hard-drive's "drop protection" stopping it spinning (to avoid damage). However, I had my hard drive replaced under warramty and this feature is no longer available for me - it seems they've replaced it with a cheaper HDD! My hard drive - both old and new - makes a CONSTANT buzzing / clicking sound. I didn't have this on any older computers and it is driving me MAD!!!! The internet is also slower than family / friend's laptops (and i'll get one bar of signal where they get full!). 

I short, I wish I'd bought another HP. Never again Sony.....
