A good test is to crank your speakers up max volume say 80% iTunes and 90% Windows and listen, you can't notice it normally because typically only one speaker will cut / limit protect. If you load the youtube video I posted or launch something like a mono podcast that sends same audio to both channels pan left and right to notice. I don't honestly think Bootcamp destroyed speakers, mine sound fine as long as I don't push over that limit.
I haven't experienced this problem and I played games with bootcamp over my speakers. I think I'm going to continue to do so, but leave headphones plugged in just to be sure.
I have AppleCare sending a new machine as well. The guy had no clue if it would ship any faster though.
I am about to ask them but I already reorder one which will arrive in 4-5 weeks ....
Stores don't have BTO configs except 2.9/1TB/460. And only select locations have that.
With 50 or so combinations on 15" between colour, CPU, GPU and storage support for these is going to be interesting.

Where is your apple store? Most of the apple stores do not have mine (2.7/512/460) in stock?
I got my MacBook 15" 2.7ghz/512/455
Was working fine until I installed windows 10 with bootcamp. While in bootcamp the right speaker made a loud crackle sound and started rattling, i took it to the apple store and got it swapped out. I just installed bootcamp the same way adjusted the sound and the same loud crackle came from the right speaker... I will be going to the apple store in the morning to get it replaced yet again and keep away from bootcamp until the problem is fixed.

Mine was the Apple Store in Bridgewater, NJ. They showed me their inventory and it's exactly what was mentioned above.
The only model with 460 graphics was the 15" 2.9GHZ/1TB

Me thinks this issue may have its roots in the Anniversary update from August.

I heard that buzz sounds in windows briefly, then have been using earphones ever since. The speakers are fine.
I do think its the anniversary update as well. I started by installing build 10240 and was using it fine for a few hours. Then updated to 14393 and thats when the popping sounds started happening.
Alright, I've been plugged into my speakers every time I use windows and it's fine. I've played more than a few hours of COD on windows and haven't run into any problems. I just make sure the headphone jack is plugged in when I boot into it. I won't boot into it without headphones until I've heard something further
Installed and made no difference for me (not sure where they got it pointed to them). I only had the 2-3 pops first boot up into Bootcamp, no more sense but I assume the damage was already done then? I can listen to my speakers all day long @ 65%~ish under 70, hours on end Mac and Windows sounds excellent, soon as I go above that with music it cuts the highs on the right side.

As we suspected damage is done, seems the pops put a beating on the tweeter. Looks like the optoin is a full replacement laptop or wait until mid-December when repair parts are coming in for repair (replacement speakers).

I have the exact issue. Installed Windows in Boot Camp and only performed the activation (no gaming, no music, etc.). Just tested my speakers under macOS and the right one now has horrible distortion at max volume. Will bring it to an Apple Store tomorrow.
