Hello,  
Using `EventInstance::stop()` with the `FMOD_STUDIO_STOP_IMMEDIATE` argument causes clicky noise on the event finishing. You can reproduce this issue inside FMOD Studio by repeatedly playing and stopping the event by `ctrl-shift-space` or via FMOD Studio API acting the same way. I’ve tested FMOD 2.02.06 and 2.02.08 with the “UI/Cancel” event from Studio examples.

Hi,

If it is possible use the `FMOD_STUDIO_STOP_ALLOWFADEOUT` option instead to avoid clicking. If not then set the volume of the event instance to 0 using `EventInstance::setVolume()` just before you call stop(). This will hopefully help the clicking.
