So my 6 months MBP started to do this " pop " noise randomly, sounds like this come from some part between the hinge and the touchbar, anyone experienced something familiar ? And how you deal with it ?

SOUNDS LIKE THIS :
It's loud, and totally anoying.

This looks familiar. I had this exact issue on my 2016 15" MacBook Pro in the past. Apple replaced multiple parts of the device over a 1 year period trying to get to the bottom of it - nothing actually helped. Lots of other people experienced the same thing and the thinking was it was to do the with the hinge and heat expansion.

so basically you said there is still no solution for this, right ?

Some people have had parts of the units repaired by apple, then the issue goes away and then comes back again - that's what happened with mine also.
