According to MC-172 there should be a sound when a falling block drops as an item. But there isn't.
Popping as in 'breaking into an item'
not as in 'making a popping sound'. The person who created MC-172 apparently simply misunderstood the changelog:
Falling sand now properly “pops” when falling on non-solid blocks (such as torches)

Resolving this as a Duplicate.
