Hi There, When I play a music or other sound and set the volume more than 3/4 of max volume, I hear disturbing rattle/cracking sound especially when playing music with great bass. Rattling sound most likely come from left side but when I drag left-right balance to full left or full right, Rattling sound gone. Someone can tell me what happen actually with my mac? Is it really blown or this is usual problem? Thank You Sincerely, Athaariq
Try using the balance control in the sound control panel to isolate what speaker is having problems. Don’t forget you also have a third speaker! A subwoofer. It’s possible you have something loose which is vibrating. Have you had anything altered in your system? If you did I would review that area.
I have replaced both speakers of my Mac Pro A1398 Mid 2015, on three (3) times. Still it keeps on bursting the edge of the speaker - rattling sound. I THINK APPLE SPEAKERS ARE DEFECTIVE FROM THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE. I have ordered another set this time from Ali express. Last replaced in December 2017. Last pair bought from ifixit, it lasted for 6 months - longest period it lasted. Now again rattling.
I use EqMac2 to balance out the noise and make it less noise with bass - it works for me.
My Mac book pro retina 2013 have a same problem how to fixed ?
i have a same problem does apple fixes for free ? it its been three years that i have this mac, which is already over the warrenty preriod . my one is 15 inch mac book pro retina late 2013.
I have similar problem. This happened two weeks ago and has gotten worse! My MacBook pro is model 2017 with the TouchBar.
Anyone have a quote of how much it would cost to repair/replace?
The IFixit guides are essential for performing any part replacements - but read and follow them with care - and read the user notes too. After replacing my speakers, the left one is quiet - but I think that is a software thing - I’ve not fixed that yet …
Will getting a Battery Replacement for the MacBook Pro gets you a New Speaker? Since a whole Top Part is being replaced.
