Why does vinyl crackle?
Numerous reasons but mostly its debris, microscopic and otherwise that is between the grooves and is picked up as a crackling or a bump sound when the needle is moving over it. Scratches to a records surface also will cause noise and skips depending on the severity.

Old vinyl on record player stuck between songs. Scratch & crackle on a loop for 1 hour. No Futur
