Apple update rids "popping sounds" from Intel-based Macs
Apple Inc. on Monday released a minor software update to its Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger operating system that will put an end to the strange 'popping' sounds that became prevalent on some systems following last month's Mac OS X 10.4.10 Update.
Apple is recommending the Audio Update for all Intel-based Macs running Mac OS X 10.4.10. However, the company notes that the update can be installed only if the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Update client (or Universal Server) update is already installed.
For those Intel Mac users who have yet to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4.10, Apple has re-released Mac OS X 10.4.10 as Mac OS X 10.4.10 Update v1.1 (Intel), which bundles the audio fix.
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Update v1.1 (Intel) is available as a 72MB download in delta form or a 297.2MB download in Combo updater form.

It has been driving up the wall on my CD Mini 1.66 GHz! Thank you Apple. I thought it was feedback from running an ehternet cable over the cable drop going across the road until I went wireless. I then knew something wasn't right.
I just noticed the popping sound myself, thinking it had to do with some interference from my iPhone. And not two minutes later....
In jobs i trust
Glad they are fixing this. It's not a biggie for me, but it is annoying.
I want Apple to release a fix for the MBP RevA "c4state-whine issue" FFS!
Sick of using 3rd party fixes like ShhMBP!
Dear lord thank you!
I wasn't overly annoyed but still I like quiet when I'm not playing music.
