Audio Pops Randomly When Playing Music/Sound on 2021 MacBook Pro 14"

I first noticed this while playing Cities Skylines on the computer, a random "pop" or scratch, almost sounding like a glitch in the audio. I didn't think much of it, and just a fault to the game's sound design and driver. But I have now noticed it happening when playing regular music, especially if it's played at full volume.

To make sure I'm not going crazy/to initially rule out various software programs, I have been able to replicate the problem playing Encom Part 1 from the Tron Soundtrack (good song). Playing it both on Spotify and Youtube Video has the same pop issue.

I'll be taking it to Apple Support, but wanted to see if anyone else has run into this as an issue? Honestly surprised, as the computer is absolutely superb otherwise!
