Pick up popping noise

Hello, I’m looking for some suggestions on what is causing my pick up to make a popping noise. I have a Fender Adam Clayton jazz bass. The noise is only coming from the neck pick up. The noise is like the sound you get if you take out your cord from your jack without turning down the volume. I only get the noise when I hit/play a string. If I turn down the neck pick up the bridge pick up is fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
