Cracking noise - maybe from speaker?

[ShootingSight]

Occasionally, I'll unlock the car, and open the door, and just as I open it, there is a single 'crack' noise. Sounds like from behind the driver's seat.

Definitely sharper than air pressure. My first impression was some sort of static electric charge that gets grounded through the amp when I open the door.

It's the kind of thing I would expect a serious car company to address if it is a known issue. But I guess if you are teetering on insolvency, putting resources towards an issue that is not losing sales is a bad business choice.
