Follow this guide to replace the speakers in your Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 laptop.
You may need to replace the speakers if they produce distorted sound, crackling noises, or no sound at all. The speakers are not designed to be replaced individually as they are connected by a wire.
The Lenovo part number for the speakers is 5SB1M76544 or 5SB1M76545, depending on the model. This guide features the former, but the process is identical for the latter.
