2 nights ago when I was turning my TV off for the night I suddenly hear a consistent popping noise coming from the TV (it happened when I turned the cable box off and was about to turn the TV off).
The popping noise is constant and happens regardless of what channel is on. However, when I mute the TV the popping noise stops which led me to believe it was a problem with the TV's sound system.
The Sony tech-support representative (over the phone) diagnosed it further to a problem not with the TV but with the cable box/service because there were no popping sounds when I played a DVD on my Playstation 2 that is attached to the TV.
Has anyone heard of something like this where the cable box/service is causing popping sounds? And is this something I should be concerned about causing damage to the TV's speakers?
There is no problem with the picture.
yes & it is common problem.
And is this something I should be concerned about causing damage to the TV's speakers?
not at all.

they are right that your problem is not due to tv.
it is due to cable box/service?
yes
but not defective it reqires to change the way you have connected tv to cable.please call tech to get it connected in such a way so that you do not get popping sound when you you put off cable box.
