Cracking sounds occasionally come from my Gigabyte M28U. These primarily happen when I turn my monitor on or off, but they also happen sporadically too. From what I read, this is apparently thermal expansion and is completely normal, especially in the winter, but how Ioud or frequent does the cracking sound have to be to be abnormal? It’s hard to record it since it happens randomly, but I’ll try to record it.
It sounds like this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/QqTISvCkNSM?feature=share
I was moving my monitor in this video which explains the cracking sounds. It sounds like this when it happens randomly except it only happens for a second. Is it normal for my monitor to make cracking sounds when I try to tilt it up or down or try to move it up or down? I thought it was normal, but maybe it isn't.
I took off all of the plastic, removed the foam behind my monitor so that my monitor doesn’t damage my wall, and tried to unscrew and rescrew. It seems to be less frequent, but it still happens. Is this an issue?
This video is of popping sounds which sound different from the cracking sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iex5x_XkVCk
I heard these sounds are normal to an extent, but I don't know if cracking sounds are normal.
