Noise on 16’ Macbook speaker

I’m using MacBook pro 16 , 2019.

From the first time i using logic pro X on my Mac, there is odd noise everytime i play music. This noise appears randomly and disappears without any intervention.

Once this problem occurs, i can hear the noise on system sound , youtube and other apps in addition to logic pro x

If i use external audio device like earphone, this noise disappears right away

Is there any MacBook user who has same problem?

What is the solution of this problem?

MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15

Make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar for service. If you need to find an Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple. Also, see How to find your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Distributor (AAD).

I now know how to reproduce this issue.


I thought the noise/pulsating pops were gone from my computer and tested sometimes: opened Logic, created a simple project with one software instrument and played it. No issues. Then I decided to check the buffer size (Preferences>Audio). It was set to 128. I changed it to 256 and clicked apply changes. When I played the software instrument the sound problems were back again! So this is probably a buffer issue on the sound card that drives the speakers.

Yeah, I don't think new laptop will solve the issue. It's likely a software bug that will have to be fixed, and then everyone will benefit. I've been working with a tier 2 support person @ Apple for a few weeks now. My next appointment is this Saturday. I'm feeling good that we'll get some resolution on this. It may take a while to get the fix out, but I'm hopeful. If there are any significant findings I'll post them to the threads on these forums.
