MacBook Pro M1 16" 2021 speakers crackle

The left speakers on my MacBook Pro M1 16" are crackling. The crackling sound only comes in the bottom part (not from the front speaker grill). If I apply pressure to the bottom part then the crackling stops.


Do I need to go to the service centre or is there a quick fix? Any one else have has this issue? The Mac just went out of warranty :(

Hey vijayvb,


If you haven't already, try restarting your MacBook Pro. This is a simple step that could clear up the sound issues you're experiencing: Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support


Does the crackling noise occur in multiple apps? If it occurs in specific apps, check for any pending app updates: Use the App Store to update apps on Mac - Apple Support


Based on what you've described, it might be a good idea to have your MacBook Pro inspected if the crackling noise occurs system wide: Get Support


Take care.
