Left the speaker cut off ones for me too, it looks like software glitch as output is used ny multiple source (turn lights, voice guidance etc).
Reset didn't help but waiting 20 min fixed it.

The cool-down fan is quite loud, but that's just how it is. It needs to cool itself down. forced induction engines generate a lot of heat. My Defender is louder than my old 2017 Disco, but that had the old supercharged V6. My Porsche and Audi both do the same thing, and they're equally loud. That's just how it is. You need a pretty powerful fan to cool down an engine bay. It's not a Dyson!

I had this happen last night. Only rear speakers working. Shut off the car and locked it and it was fine on the next start up.

^Same fix here when only the right side has sound. They somehow carried this feature over from the LR4. Part of the charm of British-engineered electronics. Funny how those of us that have owned JLR vehicles for years accept these "features" in return for amazing capability off road and in winter. People coming from Lexus are so stunned they are ready to sell when the first issue appears.

Fast forward a few weeks. I called them again to schedule my 2nd key installation which god only knows how far out that is going to be since they ordered it to fix my speaker sound. The service guy had mentioned this time he had heard of this in a Range Rover. I do know that these issues are hard to replicate and if you do not have it documented by video or drive to the service center when it is acting up they will just say no problem found. I suspect the factory amp is defective.

Has anyone had any interactions with Land Rover Service regarding this issue? Thanks.
Check the audio balance settings, test another phone or input source, try wired CarPlay, and consider a factory reset on Pivi Pro. If the issue persists, it may be a hardware problem—dealer visit recommended.
