Apple is investigating a popping sound issue with the new 16-inch MacBook Pro and plans to fix the problem in a future software update, reports MacRumors.

An internal memo shared with Apple Authorized Service Providers reads:

If a customer hears a popping sound when playback is stopped on their MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
When using Final Cut Pro X, Logic Pro X, QuickTime Player, Music, Movies, or other applications to play audio, users may hear a pop come from the speakers after playback has ended. Apple is investigating the issue. A fix is planned in future software updates. Do not set up service, or replace the user's computer, as this is a software-related issue.

Apple seeded macOS Catalina 10.15.2 beta 4 to developers today. It's unclear if the new beta contains a fix but let us know in the comments if you notice an improvement.
