    Hello, i am facing a speaker problem with MSI GE63VR laptop. My left speaker makes this strange rattling/crackling/vibrating sound even on idle. But it is pretty random, it comes and goes basically. Please look at this link for my video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s_JSjWDetHK57Y_OPZurJwTWZYLg_5Jw/view?usp=sharing
    I saw a couple of Youtube vids of the same sound by other users in different MSI laptops but nobody mentioned a solution. Reinstalled Windows and installed Realtek audio and Nahimic from MSI website. The laptop is pretty much unused. Did anybody ever experienced this?Any solution?

    It's a manufacturing defect where audio circuit isn't shielded from interference therefore creating such noise.
    It's best to contact MSI tech support to arrange for a RMA to get this issue resolved.

    By ""Shielded" you mean the bronze tape generally used in laptops or else?

    No, it can be various of things that are called "shielding" material used to protect the signal.
