I suspect that's the same sound I have on my Linux computer, since you have Android developed from Linux. I personally don't mind it that much, but then it doesn't seem to "pop" as much as you are experiencing, so Android must have a lot more events prompting it being called.
My brand new tablet makes the most annoying sound when plugged into any stereo equipment.Noise occurs when browsing the Web..POP..NEW website..POP..listening to Songza every time a new song comes on POP!
popping occurs all the time, perhaps it will POP when I throw it against the wall..POP POP POP...
Wrecks basically any experience where the advanet age of true stereo sound could be enjoyed..
what and why?
pleased help.Pop POP POP ETC
