You can look at the waveform and see if it is an overload.

That is doubtful because a printed overload would happen at the same exact spot everytime, plus, we haven't really had a problem with overload since the advent of the 32-bit audio engine.

This is then likely to be an Interrupt Problem, a Resource Issue or a Driver Issue.

First thing I'd try is updating of Sound Device drivers, obtained only from the original mfr's website support, never from some mirror site where you don't know for sure what you're getting.

If that didn't do the trick, then the second thing I always go for with problems of burst noise, zipper noise, "cricket" etc. at random times, is, believe it or not, the Mouse or Touchpad drivers.

If you visit the mfr's website and see that there are newer drivers posted for your devices, by all means try the newer drivers. Often are just like the BB updates, solving problems once released into the field and reports come flooding in from users. And besides that, rollback these days is rather siple and easy if for any reason a driver update should cause more or other probs, which IME is a rare situation anyway.
