Garage Band: Clicking sound in mixing

I hear a clicking sound that also impacts the sound on the tracks that I have imported for mixing in Garage Band. I have turned off the metronome and still the same issue. Please advice. Thank you.

GarageBand Unwanted Pulsing Noise In Background Hi, When I create almost any track in GarageBand I hear a low pulsing noise in the background and I have no clue how to remove it. It really annoys me and ruins what I'm working on. I tried messing with the controls and EQ, but nothing seems to work. Please Help.

Loud Squelch when loading tracks from Search on Apple Music I was testing our some wired headphones on my MacBook Pro with Apple Music - encountered a deafening digital squelch (1/10th of a second, very loud, just as the track was loading) when I tried to play some certain tracks found through the album search. This issue does not seem to happen when playing tracks discovered through Apple Playlists or saved playlists, but happens (relatively frequently) when searching for a new album and playing a track from that album. Specifically happened today by searching for these two albums and playing through headphone jack: Blade Runner Soundtrack - Vangelis - End Titles IV - Cypress Hill - Checkmate, Prelude to a Come Up Although subsequent playing of tracks does not make the squelch happen again. If I search for another random album and play the squelch (sometimes) happens again. It's not happening consistently, but is happening frequently enough that It's becoming a real disincentive to discover new music.

GarageBand - Volume on track Glitches I'm working with a song in GarageBand. A track was set to +6.0 decibels, and I wanted to change that. I drag the volume back to -1.0 and everything is fine. Until I hit play, save the project, go back to the beginning of the song, etc... The volume jumps right back to +6.0. I closed the project, worked on another, and came back to it the next day, and it's still happening. So frustrating!!

Hi there visionariadelmarr,

We understand you're hearing a clicking sound on your Mac.

Do you notice the clicking sound with audio from other apps, or only in GarageBand?

Does the same issue occur when listening through headphones, or a Bluetooth speaker?

Also, to determine if the issue is user-specific or system-wide, create a new admin user account, and check for the issue there.

Here's how: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac

Thanks!
