I have my desktop computer and a space heater plugged in to the same circuit breaker. When I have my headphones on (which are plugged in to a sound card in my desktop) and I'm not listening to anything, if I turn off the space heater i hear a slight popping sound from my headphones. Why is this?
Same thing happens for me when my fridge stops cooling.

bad ground. My ps4 does the same thing since it's plastic, but my tower doesn't because it's grounded.

Maybe it is because when said devices stop drawing power there is an extra surge which causes the motherboard to flow with more power and creates the pop sound

It's a common You need a power filter or a ups hooked to the pc or the heater has to go on a different breaker. its because you have two 3 pin power plugs in the same circuit and it's a ground loop causing interference from the heater. If there is no annoying hum I wouldn't worry about it, my active sub does the same thing through my speakers when it shuts down
