Logic Pro X 11.2 – Static Noise in Right Channel When Moving Mouse (MacBook Pro M2 Max)

Hey everyone,

I’m running into a strange issue and wondering if anyone else has experienced this or found a fix.

Setup:

Logic Pro X 11.2

MacBook Pro 2023 (Apple M2 Max, 32GB RAM)

macOS Sonoma 15.5 (just upgraded from Ventura 13.x – issue persists)

Using built-in trackpad and external mouse

Running on battery and also tested plugged in – issue occurs in both cases

Using external audio interface, and just the computer interface (if relevant, happy to list)

Problem:

Whenever I move my mouse, either the trackpad or an external USB/Bluetooth mouse, I get a faint static noise only in the right audio channel. It’s subtle but definitely there and only happens when using Logic Pro. No issues in other DAWs like Ableton or Pro Tools.

This has been consistent across OS versions, mouse types, and power sources. It doesn’t seem tied to my interface or monitors, and it sounds like some kind of interference or digital noise specific to Logic.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Any insights or fixes?

Thanks in advance.

Josh

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.5

All I can say is that I would create another User Account to troubleshoot this. I do this on my main computer to corroborate if an issue is tied to my account or the App itself. It has got me out of many pickles.

Also, sorry for the obvious but have you simpley tried reinstalling Logic Pro? Be sure to back up your current version if you choose to do this.

Back up the Logic Pro app

Create a new folder in the Applications folder. Name the folder with the name and version of the application (for example, "Logic Pro 11.1.2"). To check the version of Logic Pro you have, open the application and choose About Logic Pro from the Logic Pro menu.
Select the Logic Pro application in the Applications folder. Choose File > Compress "Logic Pro." It will take a few minutes to compress.
Move the resulting "Logic Pro.zip" file into the folder you created in step 1.
If you need to save space on your startup disk, move the folder containing the ZIP file to an external storage device, then delete the folder in your Applications folder.
