Macbook Pro speaker buzzing noise

So while playing LoL today I noticed a soft buzzing/vibrating sound coming across my speakers, at first I thought nothing of it, but now that I'm back on it, it's worsened. Sound is now staticy and vibrated. Any ideas on how to fix, and do not tell me to go see a mac specialist.

Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405

Macbook pro making buzzing noises when using google chrome

I have had a Macbook Pro for at least 3 years. I have always used Google Chrome(in fact as I am writing this it began making this noise while using Safari) to use Google Drive to work on my homework to do other things as well since I find it easiest to use for school. Recently my computer has started making a very loud buzzing noise near the fan areas when I use Google Chrome and it worries me. It had that problem before, but when I took it in before I thought the problem had been fixed. Now 2 years later it is making that noise again and it only goes away when I put my computer to sleep. I am unsure as to what to do about it and it worries me because it is getting to the point where I can't even use my computer to work on it.
Please help or give some advice on what to do.

Open the bottom and use a can of compressed air and clean out your fan for dust and possible plastics stuck near fan blade. It will help and if needed replace fan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu6tKVqdgGI

My MacBook Pro makes strange noises when I open iPhoto and when I close it.

MacBook Pro speaker scratchy and warbley sounding

My MacBook Pro speaker has gotten all scratchy and warbley sounding. Have they "blown"? Is this covered in my 1-yr warranty? How is it likely to be resolved?

If it is hardware defect it is covered under 1 year warranty.
If you wish to do some troubleshooting, do the following steps.
1. Reset PRAM. Some sound settings are stored in PRAM.

2. Reset SMC.
     Choose the method for: "Portable computer that have a battery you should not remove on your own"

If these steps do not help, MBP should be taken in for service

Retina Macbook Pro Speaker Distortion

I bought a Macbook Pro with Retina Display back in 2012 and recently I have had problems with the left speaker. The sound produced by the left speaker sounds very distorted (that awful buzzing noise you hear from old speakers when the volume is turned up high). The thing is, my machine has outlived it's warranty and I don't want to spend money on another machine, so I'm hoping to god that it isn't a hardware problem. I'm willing to pay a little to get the speakers replaced. I'm reluctant to upgrade it because to my knowledge, this is the last remaining model of the retina macbook pro line that accommodates an SSD upgrade. Have anyone had this issue and solved it? If not then how much does it usually cost for the speakers to be replaced?

Go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com web sites for parts, prices and instructions. It may be a good idea to have the MBP checked at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be free and you may find that the replacement cost may be modest.
Ciao,

Macbook Pro case buzzing

There is an intermittent buzzing on the right side of my macbook pro keyboard (near the right speaker grill). As far as I can tell it is independant of the display, cpu usage or temperature. I think it's a problem with the case because it goes away if I apply slight pressure to the spot where the noise comes from. Any ideas, suggestions? Is anyone else experiencing this. I'm wondering if it's worth taking it in for repairs. The buzzing is really irritating.

I had this same problem with the first one I bought. I returned it for another machine. Of course the Apple genius siad he could hear no buzzing, but I siad either replace or I return. It was within the 14 day return period. If your out of that period, cal Apple Care to have it fixed.

How do I stop my MacBook Pro from buzzing?

My MacBook Pro occasionally makes these weird buzzing/clicking noises even when it isn't on. After awhile, it usually stops but sometimes it takes longer to stop. It sounds like it's coming from the vent thing connecting the keyboard to the screen. Is there any way that I can stop this from happening? What should I do? Thanks!!!

Macbook Pro making loud noise

Hi, I am writing because I recently purchased (not really about two months ago) purchased a Macbook Pro. Now I have had this problem since the week after I bought my computer. I never brought it in because, well it was a present from my father and it seemed kind of like, I felt like scared because since it did cost 2,000$ I was scared to tell him. (I am younger than 16, so I have grounds to be scared.) So the problem is there is a loud noise that sounds like a messed up fan, but its sadly not, it comes from the top left of my computer. Next to the speaker spot, I don't even use my computer. It's like Manufacture settings because since it was broken I never wished to use it. So basically the noise is to the point where I would rather keep the computer off than turn it on. Now I am willing to do anything to get it fixed. I just wish I could use it without having to hear this noise.

If it's a manufacturer defect, it's covered. If it was caused by damage/mistreatment, then no. The fans should be quiet (and the cool the chips, mainly)...during heavy CPU activity you may hear them, but the sound should not be loud, and you'll mostly hear the moving air. I'd recommend taking it in.

MacBook Pro 'Crunching/Grinding' noise, is it the fan/hard drive?

I posted a YouTube video so you could hear the noise my MacBook Pro 15 inch laptop is making. Here is the link as well as the copy/pasted description I used on YouTube (too lazy to re-write) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW8bIOeOv-w
Hi guys,
Two weeks ago my MacBook Pro started getting really hot on the back left hand side of the keyboard area -- to the point that I couldn't have it resting on my legs.
It is now making a crunching noise from the same area. Sometimes it doesn't crouch and other times it's so loud it sounds like an expiring bomb. It doesn't have to do with how many programs I'm using. I just watched a full movie and it was silent on the crunch noise ... Other times nothing is running and it's just sitting there crunching away.
Not sure if this is a fan or hard drive issue -- I've YouTubed other videos but my noise seems to be completely different from everything I've found. Any help would be great.
Heading into Apple tomorrow but I'm worried it'll stop making the noise when I go in, like the car whose breaks squeak until you take it to the mechanic type of thing.
Any help would be grateful appreciated and received.
Best, MPG.

The technicians at the genius bar can listen to your link as well.
Ciao.

MacBook Pro hard disk noise, froze and wont boot

I was using my MacBook Pro and it froze at the same time I could hear the hard drive cracking. The following are guesses because of the sounds I was hearing: While the hard disk made cracking noises, it would stop spining. Then it started to spin again and another crack would stop the spining.
I held down the power button to shut down and now it wont boot. I can hear the same type of noises I described before.
Thanks for the help

Based on your comments, your HDD is dead. Get a new one, larger and faster if can afford it and swap in your MBP. You will have to reinstall your OS and I hope you have a back up of your data.
Caio.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can also try SMART Utility:

You can download the demo and run it several times for free. It is somewhat more critical than Disk Utility, and may detect impending drive failure sooner.
Good luck!

Is it normal for the MacBook Pro to make noises when I put it to sleep?

I apologize for posting a new question so soon, but I wanted to get my technical problems with my MacBook Pro sorted out before I go back to school.
I'm worried about this one thing that happens when my MacBook Pro goes to sleep. After I close the laptop and it goes into "sleep mode" every few minutes or so it makes this noise like it keeps on turning on then going back to sleep, turning on then going back to sleep. It never did this before. Does anyone else hear these weird noises when it's in sleep mode?
For some reason it does not make these noises when I press the power button, and then press sleep. So this confuses me.

I have the same problem after just having my logic board replaced.

Macbook Pro 13'' worrying Noise

Hey Community,
I've had my Macbook Pro for 9 months now, and two weeks ago it started making a really strange noise, and I simply don't understand what it is.
I've found a video which has the same problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG3SD7OAd1Y
Any help would be very appriciated.
Thanks,
Nic

You are still under warranty. Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

How can I pass Line-In sound input directly through the MacBook Pro Speaker

Why I need to do that:
In a chalet with a lot of friends. We were hoping the chalet we are renting would have a stereo system we could connect our iPods to. Unfortunately, there aren't any and the only speaker we have are those of my MacBook Pro.
Most iPods around have been formatted for Windows so I can not download the song on my computer so the only option is to plug the line in cable from the i-pod to the computer.
However, I can not find any way to get the audio to play live via the speaker. (Actually, I have using Parallel and my Win XP image - so I know the sound card supports it - but the output volume is very weak and I think it would be better if it did not go through the VM).
I tried using Garage Band, but no luck so far. Someone has any idea?

You can simply hook up a Windows iPod to your MBP with a regular iPod USB cable, elguillermo, and play the music directly from it through iTunes. No need to use the Line-in. Macs are capable of connecting to, playing from, and even synching with, Windows formatted iPods, without the need for anything more than the regular iPod cable.
As others have said, you can also use the very handy little utility "Line-In" from Rogue Amoeba (who also make the very useful AudioHijack Pro - which can achieve the same thing and much more too but isn't free) if you wish to enable speaker play-through from the line-in port, but you will then have to control your choices using the iPod screen. It is much easier using iTunes bigger screen on the MBP, I reckon
Cheers

MacBook Pro makes a noise and freezes after I open the lid and awake it from it's sleep after installing Mt. Lion. How do I fix this?

Eversince I installed Mt. Lion my Macbook Pro has been making a long "beeeeeeep" noise and freezes after I try to awake it from it's sleep by opening the lid. How do I fix this problem?

Either the license files were not transferred or it has to be relicensed.
Remove and then re-install aperture. On an rMBP this should take only a couple of minutes.
