Hey Angelshrestha,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! We understand you're hearing a buzzing noise when playing sound through your MacBook Air speakers. We'd like to help.


-Are you only hearing this buzzing noise when playing music? Which application are you using when you hear the noise? -What about if you play videos on your Mac or on a website like YouTube or something? Do you hear it then?

-Are you using the built-in speakers on your Mac, or an accessory?


Are you updated to the latest macOS, which is macOS Monterey 12.0.1? You can check under the Apple logo at the top > About This Mac.


Go ahead and boot your Mac into safe mode and test if the same buzzing noise continues: How to use safe mode on your Mac. Follow the 'Apple silicon' steps.


Get back to us with your responses and the results of using safe mode. We'll continue to help as needed.



Best regards.

Angelshrestha,


Glad to hear back from you. Apologies on our delay as well.


If you're still having the same issue with your speakers making a buzzing noise, you'll want to test for the same issue while in safe mode. Open this link: How to use safe mode on your Mac. Follow the steps under 'Apple silicon' to boot into safe mode. Once in safe mode, test all audio sources to see if you still hear the buzzing noise. Then, depending on your results, continue under the next relevant section, which is either 'If the issue continues in safe mode', or, 'If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode'.


Get back to us with those specific results.



Regards.
