Strange cracking sound on ForceTouch Trackpad

Hello. I recently noticed an unusual audio response from the trackpad on my MacBook Air M1. In some places it begins to make a crackling sound instead of the usual one. It's louder and its pitch is a little higher. It's annoying and distracting. What to do? A trip to the service center is not considered. Here's how it's sounds like.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.1

Irritating sound from Macbook M1 Hi, I have a problem with my macbook sound - on average every 30 seconds I have a very annoying momentary sound. Has anyone perhaps had a similar problem? I have had this problem since the beginning so it should not be an issue with any apps. I've also tried deleting most of the apps for testing, because at first I thought it was a "notification". Link to youtube, where the sound is heard at the 4th second: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ig4WOqPV3wY

Sound of a moving part inside M1 MacBook Air I noticed there is some part moving inside the MBA which makes sound when the MBA is shaken horizontally. That sound comes from the upper region of the keyboard (probably hinges). And it's more like haptic feedback than a sound. I am worried about that problem.
