Missing sound from bottom left speaker on iPad Air

Recently I bought a 13 inch iPad Air with M3 chip, and I later realized that even though there were 4 speaker grilles, but only 3 of them had sound coming out. The one at the bottom left corner (when the iPad Air is put horizontally and the sound buttons are on the top left corner) didn’t have any sound. Is it normal? If not, then what should I do?

There may be four grilles, but the Air only has two speakers, so I would say what you hear is normal.
