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.

I had the opposite problem. While climbing to cruising altitude,
one of my exhaust tubes broke at the flange on the cylinder. I
noticed that the engine sound had increased substantially, but
initially figured that the battery on my ANR headset had died. It
took a few moments for me to realize that I wasn't wearing my ANR
headset that morning.

I had an exhaust pipe break. I could hear a clanking. I took off the
headsets so I could hear it better, and then I couldn't hear it over the
rest of the engine noise. Putting them back on I could hear the clank
again.
