How can I fix hinge 'pop' noise on MacBook Air M4?

I have the new macbook air m4 and its only been a few months, for context, i haven’t been using my laptop at all for four days until last night. Which is when i discovered that the hinge was making a ‘pop’ sound. Its really soft, but it’s there. However, this happens only when im closing the laptop. Should i be concerned? Will it go away on its own? Should i go to the apple store and get it checked?


edit : the screen still holds its position in whatever angle i put it, still sturdy and firm like it’s always been. Its just that little ‘pop’ noise that kind of freaks me out a little. Please do let me know what i should do!
