Hey everyone! I'm having an issue with my 2021 Asus Tuf Gaming F15 laptop. Suddenly, it started making these strange, almost electrical crackling noises. This happens regardless of whether it's on battery or charging. I've got a 500GB SSD, and the noises definitely aren't coming from the fans since I've cleaned them out. CPU usage looks normal too. It all started when I had about 20 tabs open in Chrome. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks in advance!

I actually opened it up again, but I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm not sure what to look for. I thought I might find burnt components, but nothing caught my eye. I did take some pictures, though! Maybe you could help me figure it out from those.
Sounds like it could be an electrical short or something with the speakers. Since you've already accessed the laptop to clean the fans, maybe try disconnecting the speakers and look for any visible signs of shorts on the components you can reach.
