Buzzing speakers
Hi there. My MacBook Air M2 speakers have a buzzing sound whenever music/voices are turned up high and I'm not sure how to fix it. The laptop is almost a month-old.
MacBook Air, macOS 13.1

Hi EdyEdward11,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.
With your speakers buzzing, place your Mac in safe mode. Safe mode limits start up items allowed to run while running a health check on your startup disk. Play a sound while in safe mode and check whether the behavior continues and continue with the steps in the article.
How to use safe mode
Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps:
Apple silicon
- Shut down your Mac.
- Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button until you see the startup options window.
- Select your startup disk, then press and hold the Shift key while clicking “Continue in Safe Mode.”
- Log in to your Mac. You might be asked to log in again.
Intel processor
- Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key as your Mac starts up.
- Release the key when you see the login window, then log in to your Mac.
- You might be asked to log in again. On either the first or second login window, you should see ”Safe Boot” in the upper-right corner of the window.
You can find these steps in How to use safe mode on your Mac.
Regards.
