Tapping Sound When Plugged Into Audio Jack With No Music Playing Jbl Flip 4

Chosen Solution

When a 3mm audio cord is connecting the speaker to my mac mini 2012 and no music is being played there is a consistent tapping sound. tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap- tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap- tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap- tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap- tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap- tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap!! WTF is this?

This is interference, or excess power coming from the Mac Mini.
