It is a noise coming through the speakers themselves. As many have pointed out, it is almost definitely feedback of some form.

Like back in the day when leaving a 2G GSM phone next to some computer speakers, it would make certain buzzes as it was receiving a text message or phone call.

This happened to me at work, a coworker planted a listening device in a wooden mallard and gave it to me as a gift. He was trying to collect evidence against me for attempted blackmail. I put my phone next to it and heard the staticky feedback which gave it away.

Why would a listening device have speakers though?

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

Because he used a walkie talkie in the wooden mallard as a listening device and it was actually from an episode of The Office
