    Recently i started hearing sounds from my G73 .

    observing closely it comes form the underneath of right palm. (could mostly be the hard disk).

    My primary os is in SSD(INTEL). i dont think ssd's make sound or do they?

    Also noticed that the wear level on the battery is 19% from hwinfo tool. I bought it May 2010.

    is the battery dying or is this normal?

    I'd drain the battery completely once and then charge it full to re-calibrate and check the wear level again. 19% is normal depending on how often you use your battery and if the battery area is always warm/hot. As to you hearing noise, what kind of noise are you hearing? If it is clicking, check the Status of your Seagate HDD using CrystalDiskInfo to see if it is dying.

    i normally keep the laptop plugged in with battery in it while working or gaming on my computer table.

    i just ran the crystaldiskinfo . it said SSD is good (99%) but for the 320 GB hard disk just good. no percentage.

    yes it is the clicking sound .
