crackling noise

I have a crackling noise from the left side of the machine. It's not the speaker as it is continual, even when the sound if off totally. Only way to stop it is to turn off the machine.

Any ideas what it could be or a fix? It happened yesterday when I was copying files over to an external HD.

Thanks

M1 MacBook Pro audio glitch I cannot locate a relevant thread here, but there are reports all over the internet, including several audio forums and Apple dev. forums regarding audio glitches on M1 hardware. The audio crackling or popping can occur in any application and is frequently (perhaps always?) accompanied by a console message like the following: 3587 HALS_OverloadMessage.cpp:222 HALS_OverloadMessage: Overload due to HAL client proc exceeding io cycle budget The audio defect, and console message occur *almost every time* I use an application with audio. I am running MacOS 12.6 on a MacBookPro18,3. Internet lore on the subject suggests deleting the audio plist files in /Library/Preferences/Audio/. I have not found that to be a reliable fix for the problem. Has anyone discovered a reliable solution to this problem? Please help, Apple. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Most likely the noise is coming from the fan. Have Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider examine the laptop and provide you with a repair estimate.
