The guy at the Microsoft store was so nice. I explained the problem and my frustration. He replaced my sp4 on the spot with the newest version (still no answer to the cause of the noise though).

I've had my MS Pro 4 for a few days now. Updates are installed and it's working fine. I hear a crackling or arcing sound every once in a while. It even happens when in sleep mode. Should I be concerned or is there an explanation for this?

2018-04-13T07:47:52+00:00 Same here. Typically it comes a few minutes after closing the lid (in Sleep I guess).
Doesn't annoy me that much.
But with all the issues I've had with my SP4, it makes me worried about how long I can expect the SP4 to last :-(
And again, I haven't heard Microsoft acknowledging the problem.

In this case, it would be best that you visit our nearest Microsoft Store to have them check your device. You may also contact our Global Customer Support for recommendations.
Regards.
