When listening to a radiostation or Spotify, I hear strange "ticks". What can cause these?

Also hearing these on Pandora and "soothing sounds" on multiple devices with the latest update. Turning off "ultrasound sensing" on the device's Recognition and Sharing settings seems to fix.

Hey everyone,
Thanks for visiting the Community.
@steeeeeeeeeeeve, thanks for sharing this tricks.
Ultrasound sensing uses your Google Nest device’s speakers and microphones to determine whether a person is approaching the device. Your device’s speaker will emit soft, inaudible ultrasonic pulses. These pulses are reflected off of nearby objects in the room and the microphones detect these reflections.
Note: Occasionally, other things in your home environment may cause ultrasonic noise and may disrupt Ultrasound sensing for a brief period. This should discontinue as soon as the ultrasonic noise stops.
@Ronnie3, have you already tried turning off the Ultrasound sensing to see if it would make any changes?
