I imagine that a bit flip in the most significant bit could cause an unpleasant pop.

I'm not sure a loud speaker can produce a pop so quickly.

Here are some examples to listen to:

So I was wrong, it’s very loud.

A bit flip at the most significant bit is a one cycle 22.05kHz pulse - so yes you almost certainly wouldn't hear it even if the speaker could reproduce it.

You would totally hear it, as a small click. I had a bug in some audio software I was working with that did almost exactly this, and it sounded terrible.
