Popping sound between cuts in multicam edit

Hello,
I have a multicam project with two cameras. Each camera have 1.5 hours of footage.
I have finished the syncing, cutting, color correction and audio adjustments and the final project is 1.5 hour long.
After I had finished a very tedious and long edit of the sound (by adjusting sound levels from the camera I use sound from) I came back to the angle switcher timeline and found that in between cuts I now hear this "popping" sound. I can hear the cut.
I have spent so many hours on this project at this point and thought I was finally done, but this issue is really noticeable and makes it hard to watch the cuts as I find the popping sound disturbing and it really makes the cuts feel more like "jump cuts".
Before I started to adjust the audio, the cuts were fine in the angle viewer timeline, with no popping sounds in between.
How can I resolve this issue?

@Prebenlm: I've run into this issue before. See the following other discussions for a solution:

I Have a soft popping sound coming out of my 2009 mini....

I am using the some BA MM 220 external speakers on this early 2009 mini...and about every 45-90 seconds i hear a soft popping sound. It does not matter what levels the mini is set too, or what levels the speakers are set too...i get this single soft pop every minute or so....

Mine is not a mini problem...it happens without it being even attached to the computer. So its either a speaker problem, like maybe the power supply/amplifier has issues, or its a problem with my power lines.
I just picked up a couple of those x10 pro plug adapters that might solve the problem, They are designed to filter out power line noise...i'll let you know if they work.

Popping sound when running WMP in full scr

Basically, I installed the card with a new computer. The specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Mother Asus AV8
Memory 2x52 Dual Channel Corsair Xms
80 Gb Matrox 7200 RPM PATA
Geforce4 6600 GT AGP
X-fi ExtremeMusic
TV / Radio AVermedia TV Phone (old TV card)
Sony DVD player
Ext. DVD/RW
While playing any game, you might ear it from time to time. Not really noticeable.
While listening to music in WINAMP or WMP, no problem at all.
However, if I use WMP in Full screen, you can ear it pretty well.
Any solutions beside reinstalling or updating drivers?
Could it be that when changing into full screen, the video card requires more power, and introduce some noise in the system that produce the popping sound in the sound card? (I have a 430Watts power supply)
Thanks

You can check if
- decreasing the hardware acceleration (2 D graphics),
- decreasing the PCI latency for the grapgics (28),
- enabling the AGP fast write
- increasing the AGP aperture size into size of your geforce's onboard memory,
- lowering graphics resolution to 24-bit
- increasing the PCI Latency for sound card (64 or 28),
- (if the popping comes when you move the mouse then) decreasing the mouse sampling rate,
- changing performance optimization for applications (instead of background services) or vice versa if already set for applications
- using ASIO (plugin needed) with winamp
makes any difference with winamp popping issues.

Premiere Pro CS5 Creates a Pop Sound! :(

I have two editing machines. My main editing machine has no problems like this.
My new one is an Asus G75VX with great specs. Everything is great so far with editing video from my Sony HDR CX550V accept the audio has a very subtle pop sound in it when playing back through premiere and no matter how I export it there is a pop sound in the same places. Even if I "match sequence settings" i got it in the exported file.
The original file does not have any of the pop sounds. Here are the file properties:
File Path: E:\Video Projects\Video Files\Nashville\3-22-2013\20130321224040.m2ts
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 518.9 MB
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Depth: 32
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - 6 channels
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - 6 channels
Total Duration: 00;03;13;06
Average Data Rate: 2.7 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
This doesn't happen when I play the original file through Sony Picture Motion or any other player. But, when I play the exported premiere file through anything it has the subtle pops...
Please help, this is really holding me back!!!

Yes, non-Zero-Crossings can introduce "pops," as you mention. I have requested that same Audition Cut on Zero-Crossings function.
Often with the Timeline set to Audio Units, Snap OFF, and some tight editing, a non-Zero-Crossing glitch can be eliminated, but that Audition function would be wonderful.

Audio out "popping" sound

I have not found a reliable method for testing results but on ocassion, while running no applications that output any type of sound, I will hear a "pop" or "click" noise emitted from either my external speakers or through my earphones. I am almost absolutely certain that the speakers nor earphones are to blame as I have used them with my iPod without any issues.
I do not hear the noises from the internal speakers leading me to believe that the audio output jack is damaged. The MacBook was purchased last week. Recommendations?

It depends, are you running off battery when this happens? If so then morethan likely it is the audio hardware coming back online. In an effort to conserve power, what Mac OS X does is when you are on battery is that it turns off your audio hardware when it has not been used for a certian amount of time. This popping sound is typical of the audio hardware being powered up.

[Pulseaudio] Pop sound when the first stream starts, auto-suspend?

Hi,
I've been having a popping sound issues whenever a Pulseaudio sink was opened. At first I thought it had a link with the power saving settings of snd_hda_intel, so I changed those two settings:
power_save setting = 0
power_save_controller = N
Sadly, it doesn't change anything.
I also tried to disable auto-mute in alsamixer. It didn't work.
Then, I tried to investigate on pulseaudio's side, and figured the sinks are disabled when they are idle, so I commented out this statement in /etc/pulse/default.pa:
### Automatically suspend sinks/sources that become idle for too long
#load-module module-suspend-on-idle
However, if I do that, the device will still be suspended when the last stream ends, but won't come back to life except if I select the device again in pavucontrol while a sound stream is running (super weird).
Any leads? I'm a bit desperate...
EDIT: I'm experiencing what's been described here: Red Hat - Bug #520403 - but the solution they proposed does not work for me. I also followed the guide for ALSA Setup on the wiki, and read the section talking about Popping Noises, but nothing works for me, I un-muted the Line-In too. FYI, my audio codec is a Realtek ALC892.
EDIT 2: Noticed it does the same thing when I mute the volume.
Thanks!

Right, an array of unsigned integers to be exact. You would have to look at the code, either in your sources or here and here. They may have changed somewhat, but I doubt any drastic changes. First link is to linux 3.14 version. At least I assume it gets passed on directly, if that really is the case, I do not know. Just try it, hardware damage risk is minimal.
Looking at the mask, I think it takes up to 31 samples. So try with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24. I may be very well wrong about this.
Since I already have 0 and 1 in the 'trial matrix' I'll add 24 only. Adding the combinations with 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 is too much for me

On most keyboard layouts (also on the Polish programmer one) hyphen is one key one keystroke, where underscore is two key one keystroke, therefore more error prone and less efficient.
Wow, I didn't know that! What do you know! Linux being bitchy even about capital letters made me think it would be even more bitchy about '_' vs '-'.

Popping sounds in the multitrack in Adobe Audition CC

I've been using Adobe Audition CC for a week now and have been having some problems with it. Sometimes there would be random pop sounds during the multi-track. The random pop sounds would sometimes come at certain sections of the multitrack, but I wouldn't hear them later. I would play the individual audio files and sometimes they weren't there. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Do I have to change some settings? I ran Adobe Audition 3 a few weeks ago on my Windows 8.1 system and never had any problems with popping sounds . With CC I get pops for some reason. I have a custom made computer that is supposed to have high performance. Is there anything I should change in bios mode? The multitrack that I'm using is around 40 minutes, and is on 11 tracks. I don't know if that has anything to do with that.
The computer I have is a custom made computer desktop that I custom made for working with music. It's an i7 and the most powerful computer I have ever owned. I have serious doubt that it's my computer. My computer is new and runs fast. As I said before, I'm running Windows 8.1 and it didn't have any problems with popping sounds when running on Adobe Audition 3 previously. I think it probably has something to do with bugs in the program itself. Has anyone experienced these problems? If so, did you fix them? Or does Adobe plan to fix them? I have contacted Adobe once through email and sent a complaint through Adobe Audition's support system and heard from nobody. So far, Adobe Audition has not sent me any patches or anything. Adobe Audition CC is insanely expensive. I'm paying around $220 or $240 a year for a program that already has serious flaws.

Hi there,
(My first post! I signed up/logged in specifically to ask about this problem, which I am also having.)
I am using an old Mackie mixer -> MBox 2 -> iMac. I have used this same basic setup for last few years, and this problem is sudden and new.
It sound like digital clipping/distortion, but is clearly not happening during the peaks of waveform. The input to Mbox is clear thru headphone monitor, I can't hear anything - but when played back, intermittent and audible pops/hits are happening.
My suspicion is that it is from the USB to the Mac; there are three USB inputs on the iMac and since the Mbox is powered via USB, I think the noise is being introduced there. I tried two outta the three ports (guess I should try the third - why did I stop there? Oh right - coffee!) So far I seem to have best luck when no other programs are running, restart the computer before every session, but otherwise I am just crossing my fingers!
I'll check back on this thread, as I need this ghost OUT of my machine! ~ Jim

Anyone else getting a random "pop" sound when the screen comes on?

It's random and doesn't seem to affect anything else, but every so often when I raise my wrist to view, a small pop sound emits from the speaker. It doesn't happen every time, and the speaker itself works fine. The only water that has come into contact so far has been from washing my hands.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I have this happen too! 42mm Stainless Steel.
I thought at first it was just the strap or strap connectors clicking when raising my wrist to view the screen, but today I isolated it to the speaker on the device. It doesn't happen every time, but enough that it's a mildly annoying quirk.
Also, if I take my watch into a very quiet room, hold the speaker slits to my ear, I can hear extremely faint white noise coming from it when the screen is lit. So for some reason when the screen turns on on the Apple Watch, the speaker wakes up too, and when the speaker wakes up, it sometimes emits an clearly audible popping noise.
Also of note, the speaker functions perfectly fine when on. Notification sounds and calls sound crisp and clear, just for some reason it pops when turning on the circuitry that controls the speaker.
My device has never touched water.

Popping sound on iBook in Tiger

Last week, I purchased a second-hand iBook G4 (1.42ghz, 1,5Gb of RAM). It came with OS X Tiger. I updated to X.4.11 but I got the problem that several Macbooks had as well : the popping sound from the speakers; every time I tried to increase or decrease the volume by using the function keys on the keyboard, I heard a strange 'popping' sound. Not a real problem, but annoying all the same. I had bought Leopard to install on my G5 iMac and thought I'd give Leopard a try on the iBook. It runs without problems, although I've got the impression it's not as reponsive as Tiger. However, the popping noise is gone. Now, I would prefer to reinstall Tiger as it runs more smoothly on the iBook, but I was wondering whether there is a solution to the popping sound problem in Tiger. Thx.

the popping sound from the speakers; every time I tried to increase or decrease the volume by using the function keys on the keyboard, I heard a strange 'popping' sound.
I think that that's the normal "signal" sound that you're changing the volume.
Mine does it too as have every iBook that I own/ed.
It was in Tiger and Panther.
This is from Mac Cast:
http://forum.maccast.com/index.php?showtopic=5068
"Go to your System Preferences>Sound>Sound Effects and uncheck the boxes located in the middle of the window as appropriate (viz. Play feedback when volume is changed)."

Edit/Delete Popping Sound from Voice File

Hello. I'm trying to remove a popping sound from a voice file that I extracted from iMovie and imported into Garage Band. I am struggling to figure out how to do this. Any help is appreciated. I feel it should be simple and I'm just overlooking something, but I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks

You don't specify what the popping sound is. If it's an isolated sound, it's easy just to cut it out. If it's something like a plosive, like the p in the beginning of a word, it's a little harder. Anyway, double-click the audio region that it's in so it opens in the Editor window, set the magnification very high and find the pop. Cut to the left and right of it with cmd-t and delete the annoying bit.

Static, Crackles, and Pop Sounds

I have a Sound Blaster PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card?(.04.0000 Drivers) and it makes crackles and pop sounds when:
- I'm watching a video online in fullscreen (for example: Youtube, Gamespot, IGN)
- When I'm watching any video in fullscreen on Windows Media Player
- When playing a certain DVD or CD rom (for example, a movie or a music cd) the sound will go all static
- The sound will also crackle and pop in other programs when a movie or music DVD/CD is in my dri've, but not in use
- Certain games are unplayable because of all the static sound (for example: Starcraft)
- When I play?Street Fighter IV and Battlefield Heroes, I don't experience crackling or popping, but rather?poor sound quality (it's like sound coming from very bad?speakers with no bass).
My specs are:
Windows XP Professional SP3
Intel Core i7 @ 2.67Ghz
3 GB DDR3 Ram
HIS Radeon HD 4870 52 MB
Asus P6T Delxue Motherboard
I have disabled EAX Effects, X-Fi CMSS-3D, and X-Fi Crystalizer in the Creative Console. The sound card is currently in my PCIe x6 slot. I have tried putting it in my PCIe x4 Slot, but I get the same problems. Also, when I plug in my mic, it does not work! Why is that? and how can I get rid of these crackles, pops, and static noises?

Turns out I'm not very familiar with the Xtreme Audio cards which I'm pretty sure don't have an X-Fi chip, just some X-Fi algorithms in software. I'm not sure how much help I can provide. Have you tried CL Support?
What are you using for speakers?
If you get complete static, that could be attempting to send an encoded track like Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS CD Audio, to analog speakers. That would be a matter of making sure the player software settings are correct.

Popping sound from right speaker only of imac

I recently bought a (refurbished) September 2013 model imac 21.5". Looks great, but only one problem when I play any audio/ video, streamed or local, there come a clicking and popping sound from the right side only. Sounds like fireworks from a distance. No such noise through headphone. I tried all solutions suggested on different forums. No success. Can someone out there help, before I decide to take it to the apple store or return it?

Aironet 1252ag making popping sounds

I recently brought home an Aironet 1252ag from work because we upgraded our APs and it was about to be thrown away. I ordered a power injector for it and it's been working fine for a week with one exception - it's making popping/clicking noises, similar to what a hard drive sounds like when it's thrashing. Throughput, range, and everything else is fine. It isn't dropping clients or anything, it's just making some really odd noises. Should I just let it run and see what happens or take it down?
Also, it's running the latest software, it's powered by an authentic Cisco power injector, and it's connected by high quality copper Cat5e.

I would, but the warranty isn't transferable - my company was the entity that originally bought the AP. Plus it's about six years old, so I'm guessing it's about past the hardware support date anyway.
I'll probably just let it run. I've had many devices that have made funny noises and most of them live long, happy lives. I just wanted to get a second opinion.

'pop' sound introduced in beginning of large encodes

On large encodes, AME adds a 'pop' sound to the very beginning of the video. It is not in the source material. It does not occur when I use a few minutes of the source material using the same workflow, and usually only occurs with encodes longer than 1 hour. I am transcoding from h.264 to h.264 at a smaller size. I think it is a glitch when AME muxes the audio and video files together, but just a theory. Any thoughts? I am going from 48 to 41khz. But again, this error does not occur with shorter videos. Glitch? All files are self contained. Mac systems.

you have to make the cut the region at a "zero-cross" point; when the amplitude of the waveform is at zero.
this can be a little tricky with GB since you can't zoom in as far as you can with an audio editor, but it can be done
