2018 Macbook Pro 15`Inch Crackling Speakers

All those who have this issue have you'll got/ received any update or has the issue been fixed ?

I have contacted Apple and apparently they are still working on the solution !

Frankly this is one problem too many and they should have issued a public notice like the "Battery Issue"

I "CANCELLED" my MacBook Pro 13" Pre-Order when I heard of this !

I need a Macbook but not a defective one !

Hello David,

If you do not wish to provide those details then it's fine but since I'm in touch with Apple regarding this issue I would like to understand which model you have and when you purchased it so that they are able to pin-point and have a better understanding of the situation

For clarity you are talking about 2018 Macbook right ? If so there are no moving parts like a HardDisk !

The only thing that moves is the Fan ! And if you use MacFans and clock your Fan to a speed that is too high to the max designed speed or near to it, you can permanently damage it and you will always get noise.

But I still ask you to go to Feedback - MacBook Pro - Apple and let them know about it.

Mention that the speaker are causing it as well as other related noises.

Trust me Apple does indeed check that even if you ma not get a response !

I have personally issued multiple requests all which have been in some way heeded by Apple to which I am thankful.

yes I am talking about the 2018 MacBook Pro. I understand there are no moving parts in this laptop other than the two fans, I am simply describing the noise it self and relating it to something else. and I have never tried to set the fans at the max rpm, as I know it's dangerous.

Hi Asher, thanks for the advise.

By the way, where did you see the replies of "most users" admitting that the Mojave fixed the cracking sound in the speakers? I have read this thread and the other one with 21 pages, and I saw only 1 guy saying that it got fixed (the one that said about the i9 fan noise while kicking in). On the contrary, the below says it didn't fix it.

As well yourself, on 12th of October up on this page recommending people to keep on contacting Apple to report the issue, and on the other thread saying that you are still waiting for a fix and you cancelled your order.

Please show me exact users with their recent answers saying that Mojave fixed their speaker crackling sound. Would be great. Thanks again.

Still having this problem with the newest MacOS Mojave Update,

I have exactly the sam problem. I have a brandnew MacBook Pro 15 (5665.- Euro) and nobody find a solution. Apple just changed my mainboard because they thought that it is maybe the audiocard on the board but nothing changed. The problem occurs after hearing music with iTunes after some while (sometimes half an hour, sometimes several hours). The problem disappears after restarting iTunes but comes back again. Because I work as a DJ too I am very bugged out because I sold my old MacBook Pro 15 fro 2011 and have no idea what to do now. I tried several things (new setup, throwing away midi drivers.....) but nothing seem to work. Help needed!!!!

Hello, I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro 2017 15" with touch bar.

First my SSD died (after one year) and when I they repaired it (new motherboard) my left speaker is making crackling sounds...

I don't want to replace my motherboard again - and it costs a lot of money - almost 1000 Euro!!

(2018 MBP i9, 32gb ram, 1tb hdd, High Sierra 10.13.6) The Apollo Twin also shows no issues with external speakers. Just tried it for the last couple hours.

No, the apple support has no idea. The only suggestion is to keep my MPB 2018 up to date?1? No solution. My feeling is that they let their customers standing in the rain. Months and months are passing by. The MBP for more than 5500.- Euros is useless

for me.

Has there been any fix to this issue? I have the same model Macbook Pro 15" and just started to experience the crackling sounds with the speakers. It doesn't happen with my EarPods connected.

How did you contact apple, via customer support chat or is there a better way?

Of course they will pretend not to know anything about it.

A prostitute often doesn’t admit she/he is a prostitute .

That’s a great news. So Mojave will fix it! How long did u have Mojave to say that it fixed it
