Hello Joel44,
Thanks for reaching out to the Community.
We're sorry to hear about this experience. Let's go ahead and sort things out by answering these questions:
- Does the popping noise exist when playing music?
- How about when you try to play news, podcasts or radio?
- Does it happen every time you try to use your Nest Mini even when commanding it?
Let's go ahead and try first to perform a complete reset to your Google Nest Mini. Here's how to perform a complete reset: Factory reset Google Nest or Home speakers or displays
As soon as it is done, set it up again and let's see if resetting makes any changes to its behavior. Let us know how it goes.
Best,
Princess
