Did it pop like that prior to do any changes within your guitar? If so...Yes first resolder your grounds..You want nice shiny puddles of solder and minimal amounts of solder also..With solder,less is better actually. Also check and see if by moving wires that your noise gets better? You can't do this test on a strat though with it's pickguard...If your grounds look good,check all of your other connections also.
