Sound missing after spark sound - broken speakers?

Hi there! I've got a MacBook Air 2020 that works fine, but sometimes the speakers make a weird noise, almost like a spark or if there's water in there. It's kinda freaking me out. When the speakers make this noise once, the Mac stops producing any sounds. I can't hear a song or the sound to a video. It sometimes happens, not all the time.

The weird thing is, when I restart my Mac, the sound from ex. videos and music return.

If this only happens sometimes, should I send it in for repairment? Or should I not do it? Is it something that happens to any of you?

Thanks in advance

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4

I've not had that happen to me. If you have it, I'd call AppleCare. If not, make an appointment at the Apple Store's Genius Bar and see if the tech can replicate the issue.
