I've not heard this popping sound, Blanche. I hope it's not your engine!

However, this does illustrate an issue I've always found funny, which is:
People who say they "Don't want ANR headsets because they want to really
*hear* the engine..."

What a load of malarkey, eh? You can hear the engine -- and anything else
going on in the plane -- 10,000 times better using ANR headsets, than
without them.

trust me, an open dooron a cherokee isn't easier to hear with
an ANR headset. First clue I had was a cooollllldddd breeze.
