Intermittent Crackling Sound from Speakers on MacBook Air 2022 - M2

Hello,

I recently purchased a MacBook Air 2022. I have updated macOS to Tahoe 26.0.

Whenever I play audio via the Spotify app, YouTube in a browser, or hear an incoming call alert, I notice an intermittent crackling sound from the speakers.

I am not sure whether this issue existed before the software update. I have searched online but could not find a solution.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue or inspect the device under warranty?

Thank you for your assistance.
