Running Xcode 12.0 simulator causing cracking speaker sound (MacBook Pro 2020 13')

Hey Apple,


I'm experiencing cracking speaker sound when simulator is launched and running on my Xcode project. The fans will go high and after a while cracking sound will gone, but when I change my codes and build/preview Swift UI, the jet fans go high again and speakers sound is cracking again.


Please help. I have reset my PRAM and still having the same issue.

I think there is a way to solve this in the quickest way: killing the simulator and audio process from the terminal


```

xcrun simctl shutdown all

```

and


```

sudo killall coreaudiod

```


Still a workaround but at least I don't need to restart my mac.
