Macbook pro 13 - Speakers buzzing noise crackling

Hello,

I have a macbook pro retina 2013 and in the last few weeks the laptop makes very strange noise. Sometimes it stops and let me work but sometimes I just need to walk away as the sounds won't stop buzzing, crackling. Just uploaded a video to make it easier to understand.

Do you know how I can solve this issue? Do you think if I will change the speakers this issue will be solved?

Thank you so much

It is probably because of holes or damage in the speaker cones (the diaphragms).


If you don't want to replace the speakers which is obviously a bit costly, an alternative is to fix the holes or damage yourself using a rubber adhesive or a substituent. Look up youtube videos on how to do it. I have linked one for you to start with.


P. S. Just make sure that this is the exact issue, if you can clearly see damage in the speaker cones.


good luck!
