I've been noticing a slight popping or cracking sound coming from under the keyboard of my ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 2024 laptop, particularly when the system is hot and the fans start to ramp up, or sometimes when switching from silent to turbo mode. The sound doesn't occur when the fans initially kick in, but rather at irregular intervals when the fans are already spinning and the load on the system increases, and thus ramping up the fans. ASUS customer support suggested that it might be due to the thermal expansion and contraction of the heat pipes and other metal components. Despite this, I haven't experienced any performance or thermal issues yet. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem, and if so, is there any way to minimize the noise?
