Most likely Thermal Expansion!
Keep in mind the thinness of the system constrains the heat buildup within it. So some parts heat up faster than others causing tension to build up where the parts meet up. In the winter the effect is more dramatic! People who carry their systems into the cold and then power them up at once they get into their office/home seem to encounter it more.
As to what part/s are shifting is still a guess. Even the newest 2018 model has the problem.
Here’s a good rundown: This "popping noise" from your laptop is NOT a good sign

so, did you think it's a problem when I use it like this . ?
I can't answer that. I would talk with Apple to see what they say. If you can get your system fixed under warranty I would.

The popping is annoying unto itself, but is even more vexing on account of the ambiguity of its cause. And does this indicate that the machine is going to prematurely fail? Apple has been unable to repair my unit; came back from repair exactly as I had shipped it. .
