unusual noise

joe6v6	unusual noise My amp makes a noise that isnt teribly offensive but it is somewhat bothersome and I would like to find out what it is just for my own peace of mind. When I play cords or single notes agressively for more than say 10 or 15 seconds after I stop playing 2 or 3 seconds later I hear 2 distinct pops thru the speaker, they arnt as loud as whatever volume I happen to be playing at but they are there. they are more like thuds or thumps than pops. these two same exact noises happen when I turn the amp on for the first time. power switch on wate 20-30 seconds sdandby switch on and 2 or 3 seconds later " thump - thump " no more no less always 2 times. other than that the amp sounds great and operates perfectly. I can live with this noise I would just like to know if its causing any damage or maybe a part is bad. , , , Thanks for the help ; JOE
