I noticed that too, but in all fairness, I have at times searched for ages for similar sounds, that I finally identified as a rattle in my testbench, and these folding worktables are known for having a rattle here and there.

It could very well be that it detonates or pre-ignites (it sure sounds like it, no doubt), it is just hard to tell with this kind of testbeds.
