Crackling sound on MacBook Pro 2018

I have the new MacBook Pro 2018 15' I've had it for almost two moths now. I'm sure some user are familiar with the crackling sound from the speakers on their new MacBook Pro. Even apple has addressed this with the macOS High Sierra 10.13. 6 supplemental Update 2.

However, even after updating I still have a crackling sound or a random sounds every time my speakers gets on 44 100 Hz. I can easily fix it with selecting 48 000 Hz, but I still find it shocking that the MacBook 2018 can't use 44 100 Hz... I don't want my Mac on service either atm, simply cause I still believe Apple has a fix for it. I've already replaced my MacBook Pro 2018 15' model once so I don't believe it will help if I try again. (I got it replaced for the same problem). The only reason this is bothering me is simple cause I work with sound, music to be exact.

So I'm just curious if people still have a problem with their MacBook's using 44 100 Hz? or if its just mine.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018), macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

I went round and round with Apple Support a few months back regarding this issue, and eventually it seemed that the problem went away with my initial Mojave upgrade.

However, in recent weeks, and especially with the release of 10.14.2, the crackling and popping has come back more frequently.

I think we need to resurface attention to this issue, as there is something seriously wrong with this 2018 round of MBP's.

Awaiting further developments...
