Finally! I have seen coverage of this issue from multiple sources. In fact, macrumors just published an article saying that Apple is "investigating" this issue and it should be fixed in a future update.
We made it!✌🏻

Indeed!
I just upgraded to 10.15.2 beta 4, and found that this issue is gone, at least for the moment. I tested Safari, Chrome, IINA playing local videos, and none of them gave me the popping sound!
Hooray!
At the same time, waiting for more data points to confirm this...
Now here's the definition of a "first world problem"...a tiny pop sound when you stop a video, caused by a software glitch that's fixable. And that's a "big deal"? I'd say that it's more of a minor annoyance at best. How far we've fallen as a species

Yes, finally...after 2 years ...Apple needed another mbp to have this issue to make something of it...i just reported this again to apple support just to show them it was indeed macOS fault and not "youtube" or whatever they said 1 year ago

When you start any sound or stop any sound, when you mouse over anything that might make a sound, when you scrub trough anything it's basically a popcorn machine. Pop pop POp pOP POP pOp...
I think it's quite clear you don't even have a MacBook with this issue. To me personally it's not a breaking issue as I mostly use headphones but I can perfectly understand why it could be for many people which you seem to be unable to comprehend. Firstly it's not a tiny sound, it's very noticeable. Secondly, it's not related at all to pausing a video. It's very easily reproducible in for example Messenger, every time you send emoji, you hear a pop. It's not a minor annoyance, it's annoying af. You could argue it's ok if it was some cheap company like Acer and you paid $299 for a device. I just paid £2399 for a base model (3150$), I expect this machine to not have issues that even 20x cheaper laptops don't have. It's as simple as that.Now here's the definition of a "first world problem"...a tiny pop sound when you stop a video, caused by a software glitch that's fixable. And that's a "big deal"?

I will install latest beta later today to see if it fixes it.

Now here is the definition of a “smart mouth”…a guy who writes insulting stuff without experiencing an issue which causes headaches to many people that are actually making their living using these machines after paying a freaking fortune to own them.
The next time you will hear a tiny pop from your car’s engine don’t bother. Stay silent, or else someone will call you paranoid.
Indeed we’ ve fallen as a species. But it’s not our reaction to tiny pop sounds that indicates this but our willingness to defend companies like Apple in cases like this. Good luck spending your money. I have already spent mine.

That was nice, a little over the top but nice analogy

I've installed 10.15.2 beta 4 and the issue appears to be gone 🎉
Would you or anyone else running 10.15.2 beta 4 be able to comment about the ghosting issue? There are some reports in the other thread that the beta also improved this.
I can give it a try since i also have this problem. But how do you install a beta update?
I think right now it's only available for those with a developer account, I don't see any stories that the public beta has been released. When the public beta is out, you can join the program at https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/
Of course be very careful when installing beta software.
Installed 10.15.2 Beta4 and the popping issue is fixed.

Haha really nice to hear, now we can focus all the anger on the other problems now. Someone start a new thread please
I am not a developer and I was able to get the beta 4 running. Here are the instructions https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/redemption#macos
Can anyone confirm the 2018 15” is pop free also? ESP in FCPX with audio skimming on?
Like, this problem has been around for over a year..
I’m still on Mojave’s but this might push me to update before usual wait until 10.XX.3 before updating work machine policy.

This is the question....does the 2018 models must be updated to Catalina or Apple will offer this fix for Mojave at least ?!
notice anything difference regarding brightness?Installed 10.15.2 Beta4 and the popping issue is fixed.

This my default setting since I got from the online store but it does not help in my case.
Hey, I can confirm that upgrading to beta Catalina macOS 10.15.2 (19C56a) fixes the popping issue.
