Hello everyone!
Alright it's a weird one. Unless it's well known and I just don't know how to google it.
I've moved to a new place, and my work station is in the general vicinity of a fridge. Just a regular fridge, without any additional functions, screens, etc. It turns the cooling on and off in a cycle about every 30 minutes to keep the temperature. Today I noticed that when the cooling turns off, in my headphones I hear a fairly loud cracking sound just for a fracture of a second, regardless of whether or not any audio is playing. I'm confident these two are related.
The only thing that I can think of is that maybe it has something to do with the electricity, probably when the fridge, I don't know, I'm guessing lowers current consumption or something? I'm really not an expert and it's just a guess. The laptop and the fridge are plugged into different sockets. I haven't had a chance to test it with the laptop unplugged, because I only noticed it several hours ago and it took me so long to realize that the fridge and the cracking sound are connected. I'll test it with the laptop unplugged tomorrow unless anyone can confirm that it's not about the electricity.
Anyway, my questions are as follows: anyone has any idea what the heck is going on? Also, is this creating any danger to the headphones or laptop?
Thanks in advance!
