Loud poppy buzzy sound in audio

O.K; I run my mac into my stereo; but every once in a while I will perform an action like deleting a file, highlight command delete; and when the file deletes; I'll get a loud raspy pop or buzz through the audio. Usually makes me jump. Anyone else experience this? Any solution? Weird....

Hi, n.

You might want to disable user interface sound effects. In the System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects tab, deselect "Play user interface sound effects."

You may also want to disable "Play feedback when volume is changed" in that same preference pane if you find the audio feedback from pressing the Volume keys on your keyboard disturbing.

I'm not sure why those sounds play with distortion when run through your stereo, but disabling the preferences above will stop the sounds from playing.

Good luck!
