Speakers can't handle certain sounds

Multi tool use
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 on a Thinkpad T480. The laptop and battery life in particular are great, but the speakers can't handle sound very well. Anytime I'm playing a YouTube video and someone has a squeaky voice, or there's a slightly higher pitch, the speakers crap out.
Is there anything I can do about this? Besides buy, and carry with me, external speakers.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it sounds like (no pun intended) a hardware problem or a bug, both are off-topic.
