Hi everyone,

I recently noticed a strange noise while using Firefox 62.0.3 to browse Facebook and other websites and was wondering if anyone has encountered the same issue.

I was listening to Amazon Music while scrolling through Facebook. As I scrolled through FB, I noticed that my MBP was making a strange clicking/static noise. You can see a video of this here (via Youtube). This static/clicking noise also appears when I was browsing a website with a video playing (such as CNN.com) on the webpage and music playing either via streaming or via an MP3 playing on VLC.

Has anyone encountered this problem/issue? Is this a software issue (Firefox) or hardware issue? Should I be concerned? I am currently running a MBP 15 (2018, Mojave 10.14). Firefox is 62.0.03.

Video is here:
