In the last couple of days the touchpad on my macbook has been uncomfortably warm (along the top edge closest to the space bar), and then tonight a static-y sound started happening through 4
- even when I mute the sound. I'm actually not 100% sure that the sound is actually coming from the speakers. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could try to do to attempt to troubleshoot?
MacBook, OS X 10.11
There are a few things to try, in the matter of troubleshooting your MacBook version.
One of those, probably easier than some; is start in Safe mode, after reading the article.

Be sure to keep the macbook where ventilation is best. Not on a soft cushion, or on lap.
And to not use portable Mac in some restrictive case as those can hinder cool air flow.
Perhaps try an SMC reset ~ if your Mac has T2 chip, or not; instructions cover both.
