Unplugging didn’t work, neither did leaving it a day or so

Hi Franks Marriott,

Thank you for your post. Oh no! A cracking sound definitely sounds annoying. Let's look into this pesky issue and find a solution together. First, I have some questions to get a better understanding of this situation:

• What exact device is this post in regard to? (model name, generation number)
• Is this a new issue? Was your device playing sound with a cracking noise before?
• Does this happen with all audio? From commands to music? 
• Does this only happen with a certain type of media that you are trying to play?
• Does your device power on and work normally besides this issue?
• Have you tried to do a reboot and a Factory Data Reset? 
  • A factory reset will reset your Google Nest or Home speaker or display to its default factory settings.
    Note: This action will clear your data from the device and can't be undone.

I look forward to your response, thanks.
