Does my Mac Studio Display have a Faulty Speaker?

My Mac Studio Display is plugged into my Mac Mini.


For normal use, the sound is fine.


However, when playing certain frequencies - particularly in high-pitched/treble music, e.g. a female singer, at medium-to-loud volume - I can hear crackling/audio-twitching from the left hand side of the display.


This is not present on the original audio, which I can verify by listening to the same music on headphones.


I recognise that speakers can be "blown" by playing at volumes that are too high, after which the speakers may crackle/distort, but I haven't abused the speakers. And you'd imagine on a premium piece of hardware like this, Apple would ensure that maximum volume levels wouldn't exceed the tolerances that would cause this.


My Studio Display is within warranty, and I purchased directly from Apple Store Online in January.
