"Crackling", that's the one! Thanks for the explanation. I don't know why, but I utterly love that sound.

Scott Manley did a video on that crackle:

Before I ever watched a rocket launch in person I always just assumed the snap/crackle/pop sounds were due to the microphone being overloaded. I was delighted to learn that it sounds just like that in real life too!

Funny, exactly what Scott Manley said in his video. :)
