Since I have upgraded to MacOS 11.7 and Safari 16.0, I experience undetected music (a rithm box is continuously playing and interferes with other sound sources like iTunes. How can I detect its source and remove it? Quitting Safari and removing history as wel as rebooting does not remove it.
After upgrading I got a warning that Garage Band was corrupted with the advice to remove it and install it again. I have done this but not yet installed as I never use this app.

Hi jfromzeewolde,
We would suggest starting up the system in what is called safe mode. This will help isolate this issue.To start in safe mode, follow these steps:
Begin with the computer powered off.
Press the power button to turn it on then press and hold the Shift key.
Keep holding the shift key until you get to the log in screen.
More information is available here: Start up your Mac in safe mode The computer will take longer to start in safe mode, and the screen may have some distorted video as it starts up. This is normal. Once you are logged in, use the system and test to see if the issue continues.If everything seems to work as expected, go ahead and restart the computer normally and test again. Starting in safe mode forces the computer to run some disk checks similar to First Aid. This can resolve some issues.
Let us know the results.

This was a very helpful advice. After its execution, the annoying permanent rithmic noice has disappeared.
Thank you very much Giantcat!
