Bug Description

Sometimes, while on headphones, short and non pleasant bursts of noise, of around 1-2 s, can be heard on the headphones. These bursts appear randomly, usually some of them at the login screen and Unity loading, and when activating something in Unity (often launching a new program). Sometimes instead of the burst a shorter but still non proper click is heard.
