I had this same fucking situation recently in an issue on GitHub.
It wasn't the drivers.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Does anyone else get a crazy weird robotic static echoey sound on Arch (CachyOS)? It's like it starts fast then gets slower and more drawn out. It is very sporadic so I haven't been able to record it well. It's happened on a USB headset as well so I know it's not my speakers.
Just use arch.
I have no reason to believe the problem will go away if I use arch. I am not going to reinstall an entirely different operating system that the one I'm using just because every now and then my PC makes some funky noises with the hopes that maybe it will fix it. That's crazy.
