Hi there nickobee53,


We understand you're experiencing an issue with the speaker sound on your MacBook Pro, and we'd like to see if we can assist.


Get started with the steps here: If the internal speakers on your Mac aren't working


If the issue persists, check to see if it only occurs with audio from specific sources.


Also, create a new admin user account, and test for the issue there: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


Cheers!

It happens when any Audio in Safari is stopped, or in YouTube when stopping or scrubbing, Also it pops when using apps like MyTuner, when you hit stop there’s a small pop sound . When listen to songs in (Music- formally iTunes) the pop sound doesn't happen. It happens in guest user also..... this was resolved before the 11.3 update.
