You are not going to "clean" your internal microphone.


On an Intel Mac(?) the best you can do to sort software issue:


Try resetting the SMC Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support

Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support



If you have a hardware issue where the mic has failed / or is working in a state of failure—take it in...


In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"
