My laptop speakers are making a tiny crackling noise while watching content?

So my laptop speakers make a crackling noise while watching content or listening to music, the most sound it made was when booting my computer and the startup noise made a completely buffled crackle. Can someone help me fix this because both speakers on each side make the noise so this may be a software issue or a loose connection?
