Speakers buzzing on Macbook Pro 2013

A while back I replaced 2 of the rubber pads that had come off the bottom of my 2013 Macbook Pro. After reassembly, whenever I play audio on the computer the sound comes out buzzy.


Any idea on if I missed anything in the reassembly process?

... probably.


When one of the rubber feet breaks a hard plastic part that you don't see from the outside is left to rattle around inside. Take it apart and you'll probably find it. I believe newer MBPs don't have that plastic part, probably because it always breaks... eventually.


If that's not it, look for a small cable that should have been held in place with plastic tape. The tape may have come loose, possibly leaving the cable to vibrate against a speaker. If all else fails consider the possibility a speaker was damaged.


Tighten all the speaker screws too.
