Random 808/Bass/Distortion sounds after every boot since installing FL Studio

I have let my friend try out FL Studio on my mac earlier today and nothing seemed off. He made a beat and then I went on with my life. Earlier tonight when I restarted my MacBook, soon after it booted (after around 30s to a minute) some random 808/Bass sounds started playing completely at random and these sounds being extremely distorted. They seem to stop after about 2 minutes of them continuously playing. Also every time I reboot I get hit with the "You shut down your Mar because of a problem" screen, although clicking on open doesn't open the console, and even if I open it manually I don’t t see anything relevant. There are no processes relating to FL Studio and this problem keeps occuring even after uninstalling said app and deleting every file it created (audio/documents etc). I am at a complete loss and as a last resort I would have to reinstall macOS, which is something I'd absolutely not like to do, especially as I've just had to reinstall it a week ago after wiping the whole drive after trying to install Windows. I have a 2020 Intel 13" Macbook Pro running Ventura. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi stefan2435,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. If you are having issues with your Mac, here are a few steps that may be useful from the resource titled If your Mac restarted because of a problem.


If you haven't yet, confirm that your device is using the most recent software to rule out the older one. Be sure to back up beforehand: Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support


If that doesn't help, or if you're already on the latest macOS version, try booting into safe mode to test. This helps to rule out possible issues with software that launches on startup: Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


Once you test safe mode, click Apple menu () > Restart to get back to normal, and let us know the results or check the link above for steps you can take based on the results.


Have a great day.
