Mysterious Sounds from My Headphones: A Terrifying Encounter with the Unknown

Recently, I purchased a new headset after my previous one gave out. Little did I know that this seemingly innocuous device would lead to some perplexing experiences. The headset has started to emit an unsettling cacophony, akin to a disturbed theremin, leaving me questioning the origins of these bizarre sounds.

Curious to capture the phenomenon, I recorded the noise on my phone last night, and the result is as bewildering as it is eerie. You can listen to it here. My immediate reaction? A mix of confusion and intrigue. What could be causing this auditory anomaly?

For some context, here are a few details about my setup: the headset is connected through mini-jack inputs for both audio and microphone, in addition to a USB port that I haven’t activated. Given the peculiar nature of this issue, I relied strictly on the audio inputs, as the microphone was disabled both through Windows settings and the physical switch on the headset itself. So far, this strange occurrence has only happened when no other audio is playing, though I cannot ascertain whether this is a coincidence.

To further narrow down the potential causes, I ensured all other electronics in the room, aside from my computer, were turned off. This weird phenomenon has never happened with my previous headphones.

So here I am, reaching out to the community for insight: Could there be a technological explanation for these ethereal sounds, or am I unwittingly receiving messages from the beyond? I would be grateful for any theories, translations of these ‘space messages,’ or advice on how to mitigate this bizarre experience. Let’s uncover this mystery together!
