Chosen Solution
Hello, I’ve bought a new Macbook Pro 13" 2020, which I got this Tuesday. I’ve had some issues with it making a clicking noise every time audio starts. It happens when I start a Youtube video, but I’ve also tested if it does the same with videos or wav/mp3’s on the harddrive and it does. So it’s not streaming related or browser. It’s only really noticeable on headphones, but I think it happens on the speakers as well. It’s not the headphones, tested with others. It’s a very short, high freq sorta click. It’s really annoying. I see other have had the issue with the older 16" 2018, but couldn’t find much on this new 13" 2020. Anyone know what could be wrong? I’ve tried all the SMC, PRAM, Safe Mode etc.
Apple had acknowledged they had an issue Apple confirms 16-inch MacBook Pro ‘popping’ sound is software issue. It was expected to have been fixed in a software update. Are you running the latest OS and updates? If you are then you’ll need to talk with Apple support to see what they say.
I’ve been looking for a solution for months and finally developed an app myself! Here it is on GitHub macClick It removes the clicking impulse sound and keeps the sound card output busy. Hopefully it helps others!
