A strange “snap“ or “popping” sound keeps interrupting our music


We have good equipment, all digital (streaming to DAC to amp to speakers) but we experience a strange snapping sound as though some energy is built up, then released.  Has anyone else’s experienced this?   Could it have something to do with grounding, or inadequate grounding?

I didn’t want to publicly mention the amps, but I will say they have no tubes.  I do have tubes in my DAC.

Mainly the right channel.  And not consistent.  I’ve wondered if the weather has an impact.
