Audio Buzzing on iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18.0 When Playing Videos on Social Media Apps

I’m noticing that when I play videos on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok, the audio at the start of the videos often sounds like buzzing or static noise. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m concerned that my phone might be defective.
