Switch 2 right speaker making clicking/buzzing noise after system update, any ideas?

Hey, my Nintendo Switch 2’s right speaker has started making a repetitive clicking/buzzing noise whenever the built-in speakers are active. It even happens with the system volume turned all the way down to 0.

The issue started right after the system software updated during the initial first setup.

A few details:

  • The noise stops immediately if I plug in headphones.
  • It also stops when the console is asleep/docked.
  • The speaker seemed completely fine when I first turned the console on.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? Would really appreciate any troubleshooting ideas or repair suggestions.
