I think you are describing the noise from the coil turning off getting into the switch matrix. It is unavoidable to a certain extent and normally does not score points when it happens.

If it really bugs you can you try and move the flipper wires away from being bundled in with switch wires and shield it some how, but I'd just ignore it unless it is happening really often and scoring points.

Quoted from dpapclare:

It's not scoring points but it happens enough that it is effecting the game play. Especially when the upper flipper goes up and immediately goes back down as if it's the hold isn't working

Flipper button and EOS switches that are pitted, make large arcs, or cause flipper fluttering are probably going to exacerbate the issue.
