Yup. It happens when your "frost free" refrigerator goes through its automatic defrost cycle every 18 hours or so. Small heaters around the door opening gently heat the areas of the interior of the refrigerator and melt away any frost that has formed. After 15 to 20 minutes of that, they shut off and the cooling system restarts and all is well, only to repeat in another 18 hours, or so.
When the heaters come on it usually causes the plastic parts around it to expand a bit and where two pieces of plastic touch they can make popping sounds.
