I’ve been experiencing a recurring issue with my MacBook Pro M4 Pro when it wakes from sleep. Each time I wake it, a strange, stuttering sound occurs. The noise is low and sounds like a brief segment of audio that keeps restarting—Duh-Duh-Duh-Duh—repeating endlessly. This problem has persisted for the past couple of weeks.
Interestingly, my MacBook Air M4 does not exhibit the same issue. However, it only goes to sleep during the day due to my company’s policy of shutting it off at night. This leads me to wonder if the duration of sleep impacts the occurrence of the sound. A temporary fix I discovered is putting the MacBook Pro back to sleep and waking it again.
This method resolves the sound issue immediately, at least until the next time it sleeps. Currently, my MacBook Pro is running the latest release version of Sequoia, which is 15.5. Despite keeping my software updated, the stuttering sound persists, indicating that the issue may not be related to an outdated operating system. While the workaround of waking and sleeping seems effective, I hope to find a long-term solution to this problem.
Overall, the situation has become quite inconvenient and affects the overall user experience of my MacBook Pro. I’m hopeful that a future update or troubleshooting step will help eliminate this annoying glitch.
