If the chain is too far from the center of a rear cog, it briefly catches on the next larger cog (or next smallest in the other direction.)
I use a dollar bill as a test: can I slide it between the chain and the next cog without the paper binding? Check both sides of the chain, larger and smaller cog. No binding? That's a reasonably good adjustment for the rear derailleur.
What gears does it happen in?
