Maybe the carbon has bits of metal in it? It makes like a popping electrical.

it may be a conductive enough solid material to cause the issues like a metal does.

Doesn't carbon pull out toxins, waste, etc from the water column? If so, then couldn't it pull out palytoxins which would be released while microwaving? That is what I would concern me the most.

Its definitely something you might want to do outdoors and away from the wind direction when you open it.
