Random popping sound on MacBook Air M2

Even if we can listen for the sound, as D.L. Johnson has already mentioned, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to diagnose what that could be.

I'm assuming that this is a 2020 M2 MacBook Air ... correct? If so, it doesn't have an internal fan, so it shouldn't be making any kind of sound, let alone a "popping" one. That would indicate a potential issue.

Was this computer new, or previously used, when you bought it?

Have you run the Apple Diagnostics on it yet? It would help identify if your Mac has any hardware issues.

The Apple warranty on new Macs in the U.S. is 1 year. If you bought this four months ago you are still covered.

Dig out your receipt, make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the computer looked at.

You can make a Genius Bar appointment for hardware using this link: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

Call Customer Support (800) MY–APPLE (800–692–7753) or on line /getsupport.apple.com/ 

Well, with that knowledge I don't think there's much I can do to help.

But there is Apple Support in Italian avaialable here: Italian - Contattaci - Supporto Apple ufficiale (IT)  

I will hope that you can find the guidance that can help. 🤞🏽

I can't tell you this is normal because I don't think it is. I've never had a laptop make the sort of sound you describe. The vid suggesting that it may sort itself out over time may be correct, and all you can do is wait and see. Since you believe that your warranty has expired, there is nothing to do about it.

I would take the zen approach to dealing with this. That is to say, continue to use the laptop as you need to, and if this occasional sound continues then it continues. Consider it part of the character of the machine. If all else is fine and the operation of the computer isn't impacted in some way, then let it go. If something breaks in the future, address it then.

In other words, don't worry about it until it's something to worry about.

If you have an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider near you, I suggest that you take it there and have them take a look.
