doorbell battery annoying sound at start of each recording

Only had this doorbell for a few days, so far very happy with it, however there is one annoying thing.
At the start of each recording I get a very small burst of an of sound, most of the time it sounds like  a bird chirp. I have checked and there is no external factors causing it.

Anyone else had this?

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Let's get this sorted out. What type of Nest Doorbell are you using? Please provide a short video clip of what's going on when you start your recording so we can check this further.

Unsure how to attached a video clip here and an email reply to you fails.
It's a Nest Doorbell (Battery)
At the start can be heard what sounds like a chirp from a bird (it's not). This is on all recorded clips.

I have had no further reply from you, are you able to help me with this issue or not? I would upload a video clip however I am unable to do so as I do not have permission.

"further assistance"
We have had no assistance at all yet. Clearly this is not an issue affecting just me, so what can be done about this?

Please wait for an update to the app, or from Google. I do not have any troubleshooting steps to provide besides a Restart or Factory Reset. I assume this issue is most likely on Googles end, so you'll want to wait until otherwise.

 

Best regards,

@SteveT1  I am having the same issue so this does not seem to be an individual case. Can you provide any further help on this issue? Or you expect users to open a support ticket individually?

I installed the battery doorbell a couple of days ago (running it on constant power btw) and I have  the same issue. 

Sounds like a bird chirp, like the original poster states. 

How to continue from here.
