hp Pavilion 15 ec00
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm having trouble with scratchy/distorted audio on hp Pavilion 15 ec00 and am wondering if this is just inherent to the design or if my machine has a hardware problem.

When my machine was brand new out of the box, it sounded like the speakers were blown out when playing certain frequencies such as the Windows 10 notification tone. I did the standard troubleshooting by the windows troubleshooter and checked my drivers if there is any driver update but the drivers are updated.

When audio plays I can feel the laptop vibrating and rattling it seems like the strange noise is coming from the right speaker more than the left one.I know this is a laptop and I'm not expecting the world's greatest sound, but the distortion is really annoying. Is this just inherent to the hp Pavilion 15 ec00 or am I just unlucky ? I've tried updating drivers and the problem persists. Headphones are fine. It's definitely the external speakers on this laptop that are vibrating around.
