I noticed this loud brap sound when clicking on Apple Music songs. Even with the volume low it just about blew my Audioengine speakers. Unplugged speakers from audio port and get noise from iMac speakers but is a pop and not dangerously loud. This seems like a new problem since I listen to Apple Music hours a day and just hit this. Noticed songs have lossless and some dolby atmos labels as well as spatial audio mentioned now so maybe some digital noise for new format. Disturbing since I can't play my speakers anymore in fear I will blow them.

I tried the new John Mayer Sob Rock that showed up when entering Apple Music and the 3rd song seems to do it consistently when clicking with mouse.
