HomePod keeps popping
One of the two HomePods I have started making "popping" sounds, loudly and thens stops working for a while and starts up again. What do I do to fix this?

I have this problem too. Tried described everything on-line - resetting, disconnecting etc. Still makes popping noise intermittently. Contacted Apple support, dropped HomePod off at local Apple store. One hour later, I was told that I could either,
- Buy a new HomePod with a 1-year warranty for £279
- Get a slightly cheaper serviced HomePod with only 90 days warranty for £249
- Take back my HomePod, cross my fingers and hope that a future firmware update fixed the popping noise.
I'm unimpressed. I expected more from a £300 speaker after 18 months and I expected more from Apple.
