Used to be called 'oil canning', after the flexible bottomed oil cans
that allowed one to pump oil from the spout. Your oven has a panel
that expands in the center beyond what the edge does. When the
resulting stress is relieved, the noise occurs. Probably not harmful,
might even quit doing it after some time.
