Hi everyone!
I have got a very ”surprising” problem with my iPad pro 12.9”, 2018. Its speakers became very creaky literally for no reasons and literally over a night. They sound terrible, all of them the same. The problem appeared by itself, so meaning i didn’t drop, drown into water or any other similar thing. Also it didn’t have any similar issue till now. I have both it 14 month ago and overall it is in a very good condition so i am very surprised by this issue. I have been doing a hard restart and updated for the latest ipad os but neither of them helped any and i guess it is a hardware problem. Does anyone faced similar issue? What do you suggest to do with it? Thanks in advance for your response.

Send us an audio clip of the creaky speakers.

Here is how it sounds. I have also recorded my macbook for comparison so you can see the difference.

Something's not right. Have you been traveling in higher elevations? I ask because I've had iPad and Apple Watch speakers go a little crazy and start distorting when I'm in the mountains and then return to normal again after some time, so the only thing I could attribute it to was the elevation changes. You'll likely have to send to Apple if it doesn't resolve itself. Give it a couple days.

No i did not travel with it. This problem appeared 2 days ago and I thought this problem is temporary and will return to normal since it happened by itself. But it seems it wont return to normal though i was trying to update ipad os and restart several times. It’s a very strange situation for me.
