So... I've figured out a workaround for this issue. Works every time.

1. Turn off both my built-in audio device and my HDMI device
2. Run VLC with the video I wish to play
3. While it is playing turn the HDMI device back on

Viola! Audio instead of unbearable noise!

Turning off/on the audio devices that I mention above I do via pavucontrol ("Volume Control").
