Static sound from left speaker

Hello, my issue is that I hear some kind of static noise from left speaker of my 2020 Intel macbook pro. I have noticed that this issue doesn't appear on windows through bootcamp. This sound is of a higher frequency and it seems that not everybody can hear it . I suspect that it maybe some kind of firmware thing or something like that. My mbp was already in an authorised apple service two times and it didn't help, they changed speakers, reinstalled macOS and I think I had some kind of beta firmware so they updated that as well.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

Hey there Ahearys,

We understand you're hearing a high pitched static sound from the left speaker on your MacBook Pro. We'll be happy to help.

We'd like to begin by trying to isolate the issue. Let's test to see if you can hear it in safe mode. Use these steps: How to use safe mode on your Mac

After testing in safe mode, reboot and test again normally. Safe mode will clear some caches and prevent certain things from booting which may help isolate.

Afterwards, we'll want to have you test in a new user account. This will let us know if the issue is system-wide or only on one account. Reference this page: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac

Cheers!

I lent my macbook pro, so I don't have it with me right now. I will try things you said once I get it back.
