My 2021 MacBook Pro (18,3) recently started making a strange beeping sound. I would like to know its source since the sound makes me somewhat concerned and is also quite irritating. I’m running macOS 12.6.3. I’ve characterised the beeping below:
- I made a short recording of the beeping.
- Attaching headphones or adjusting volume have no effect, i.e. the beeping can still be heard. (I’m not even completely sure if the speakers are the source.)
- The beeping stops sometimes even for a long time but so far has resumed later.
- The beeping starts again after reboot.
- SoundSource doesn’t list any applications that produce audio output.
- The beeping happens even in the login window but (so far) not in Safari launched by a guest user.
- I tried uninstalling the Teams audio driver and stopping Adobe’s processes but these didn’t seem to have any effect.
Any advice is appreciated.
