pops v. cracks in a valve amp

Low frequency pops through the speaker, rather than high frequency cracks. Would failure of 10,000uF 16V cap on DC balance to the heaters leading to pops be consistent rather than high V HT cap failure (crack noise).

I was hoping for learned opinion on diagnostic possibility of the f characteristics of pops v cracks. Replaced the "heater" cap and no re-emergence of pops , hopefully not a coincidence
