Intro
Our observations indicate a higher susceptibility to damage in MacBook Pro speakers when compared to Air models or iMac. Notably, this trend is particularly prominent in Pro models manufactured between 2009 and 2015 and it is likely that this issue can be attributed to a design flaw or fault.
What could cause MacBook Pro Speakers to crack?
Physical damage
When a Mac is dropped or experiences a physical impact, it can damage the internal components, including the speakers because they rely on precise alignment and movement of their diaphragms to produce sound accurately. The diaphragm, a thin and flexible material within it, vibrates in response to electrical signals, generating sound waves.
A common issue where the diaphragms can crack or tear and you will hear crackling sounds as a result.

Overloading the MacBook Pro speakers
Playing audio at extremely high volume levels or using software that increases the sound beyond the recommended limits can result in distortion and potential damage over time with the diaphragm overwork, leading to distorted sound.
