Somewhat related, but I think only relevant for laptops. My 2017 MacBook Pro would be seemingly random in getting clicks/pops in the audio when I would do things with windows (particularly as I like to use Mission Control). Doing the 3 finger swipe up to enter Mission Control would sometimes create a bunch of clicks/pops.
Today it started doing it again (after no issues for a while), and the one thing that was different was that my battery had been completely drained. I was on power, but it was charging up from about 5% charge.
On a whim, I went looking in the Energy Saver prefs, but as I’m newly upgraded to Ventura, this is just a ‘Battery’ option now. There is an extra ‘Options’ button, which then displays an option at the bottom for ‘Automatic Graphics Switching’. I turned this off, and my click/pops when using Mission Control instantly disappeared!
