Aspire 3 Screen flickering and loud sound whenever resume video

My screen's brightness would flicker (even if its already on the lowest, it can still go lower) whenever I open a new tab. This mostly happens when its not plugged in. I also experienced really loud sounds whenever I resume any video (its like a pop before the sound goes back to normal).

This laptop is pretty new, so I don't think its the hardware's problem. However I may be wrong. 

I have tried uninstalling both of the audio drivers and display drivers. I want to check for incompatible apps even though I haven't installed any since I bought it.

Thanks!
