New M4 iMac Mini making loud bebump noise in sleep mode.

I have disabled Bluetooth and muted sound but for whatever reason, every so often throughout the day/night, there is a “bebump” sound. No idea what it could be and I can’t duplicate it.

iMac making knocking noise when in sleep mode Is anyone else having the issue of 24" Imac making a knocking noise and the mouse indicator visible on the screen when in sleep mode? The screen wakes up when the mouse is moved, and the noise stops. Is it a problem? It does not seem right.

Mac desktops waking unexpectedly from sleep . . . solved? It's a pain in the proverbial when you put your desktop to sleep only to have it wake immediately or even worse, wait a few minutes until you have left the room! My iMac does it only occasionally but my M2 mini wakes immediately most times I put it to sleep or waits for me to go away. The problem is most likely BlueTooth interference from the non-Apple keyboard and mouse. In the old days you could switch off "Allow BT devices to wake the computer" but since Monterey this setting has been removed. An hour ago I discovered a free app called Bluesnooze which switches off the BT keyboards and mice when the computer sleeps. https://github.com/odlp/bluesnooze/releases/tag/v1.1 Obviously you can no longer wake the Mac with the keyboard or mouse but I find a brief press of the power button wakes the machine after 5 or so seconds. It's early days but it does appear to have cured the problem.

Random knocking sound in sleep mode My new imac has started making random knocking sounds while in sleep mode. It doesn't sound like a hardware malfunction, more like a sampled sound. Loud and resonant. Any clues? Should I be worried?
