Resonating keyboard on Macbook Air 2020

https://youtu.be/IbFCXM5LF4Q - give it a listen from about 35th minute to 37th minute on a Macbook speaker with a high volume.


My Macbook Air English ISO keyboard seems to resonate on the left side. It can get quite loud and annoying. I think it's not an issue of the speaker, but an issue of the keyboard because when I place something lightweight on the keys near the speaker, the buzzing doesn't seem to occur at perceptible levels (when I try to hear it, I still hear some tiny distortion but at that level, it might as well be a placebo effect). Is this a common issue? Is it something I could get fixed with my Apple Protection Plan? If it's an issue that could be fixed by changing the layout of the keyboard then I could agree to swap my keyboard for the ANSI version, but I'm not sure if Apple does such arrangements.

I'll speak to someone from Apple during the week (bringing it to an Apple service isn't an option at the moment due to lockdown in my country, I can only send it) but I wanted to get some feedback from the community too.
