I bought this mac in September 2019 and it was working fine. Suddenly 4 months back, the crackling sounds started from the left speaker. The noise is not there when external audio device is used.
Any comments on this?

Get this Serviced, ASAP!:
If this was purchased from Apple back in September, then I insist you get this serviced, especially if no AppleCare protection was purchased with this.
It may be a hardware issue. You have a one-year, out-of-the-box, limited-warranty with this. So, contact Apple Support, seeing if this can be worked on.
Without AppleCare protection on this, the out-of-the-box warranty is due to expire in only three or so months from now, as of this reply.

"My MacBook Pro speaker has just started a distorted sound- is there anything I can do about it."
Well, how old is it? Send it in for service, if you still have coverage on it.

Hi,
It seems that in your case, the noise is there even if there is no audio output (or your not playing anything)
But in my case, if I go above a certain (say 50%) of audio output volume, the noise or crackling sound is coming from the left speaker.
If this was the case with you also?

No, unfortunately there is no coverage on it as I think I purchased it in 2016. I replaced a 10 year old MacBook Pro with this one. (The noise is very annoying and distracting) 😿 I will try your suggestion. Thanks
I have something similar, but not crackling or popping, does it sound like this? https://youtu.be/Ejbzz2aTX7Y
Thanks for the reply~
I think, I have to contact the apple store.
Thank you for the suggestion.
My MacBook Pro speaker has just started a distorted sound- is there anything I can do about it.
You are welcome. Let us know how it works out.
It was not on blow. It is on funk. It is the right speaker that has the issue 😾
‘thanks for the help
One more thought — the balance - moving it fully to the left, do you get this popping?
I visited the Apple Care and turns out that there was some dust sitting on the speaker.
It is totally fine now. No more crackling sound.
