    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?

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

          Haha no? What kind of a psychopath would use a secondary listening device?
