MacBook Pro 16" Random Scratching Noise from the Speakers

I bought a new MacBook Pro 16" a few days ago that is running MacOS Catalina 10.15.4.


A strange sound comes from the speakers every 2-3 minutes.

This is not like the "popping" sound frequently mentioned on the Internet.

It also happens when the music is not playing or the device is on standby.

When I decrease the volume it also decreases and when I mute it disappears completely.


Here is a 2-second recording of the noise:

I don't know if it is a software or hardware issue. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.


Thanks!
