Weird Mechanical Noise in Random Places

So I've been noticing since the High Isle patch on Playstation (PS4/PSNA) when I travel around to various zones, I will hear a weird mechanical/whirling noise in the game. It sounds vaguely like the whirling blades in Halls of Fabrication hallway boss. The sound will be off in the distance, but as I get closer it will get louder to the point it drowns out nearly all other noises. I can wander away and it will quiet down, but going back to the same place makes it grow louder again. It seems to appear after I port somewhere (wayshrine or house) and it's never exactly in the same place; I can go to the same point again and its gone the next time I log into the zone.
So far, I've experienced it in the following places:
High Isle/Amenos (wandering around for antiquities)
Shipwreck Shoals (delve)
North Elseweyr (near the Public Dungeon)
Dreadsail Reef (Final boss chamber)
Sleek Creek House (wasn't even bought, just looking at it)
Belkarth (near the Wayshrine/Festival area)
The Login Screen after a crash while the noise was running.
It seems to be focused on my sorcerer (who is my main/crafter and thus been played a lot more of late) but I swear I heard it on my healer also. It doesn't seem related to gear (different builds), skills, companions, pets, mounts, or anything else customizable that makes noise. Nobody else seems to hear it either, not at least anyone in my trial group did.
Is this a known glitch? Am I going crazy? It's annoying but harmless, but I'd rather not have to deal with it. I'll put in a ticket if I need to, but I want to know has this happened to anyone else first.

Do you remember that guy who had a Dwemer machine beneath his basement?

AnonomissX✭✭✭✭I've been hearing the NPC voices go all digital / glitchy in Mournhold right outside the crafting house on Xbox.Ebonheart Pact, Nord Templar/healer on NA Xbox server. My main toon WAS a tall and foxy redhead - now she has been gamma-irradiated and has green skin and black hair. 3 other characters I only use for writs. Can't be bothered to create multiple toons - EXCEPT now my WW is getting spooled up for Cyrodiil - Blood For The Pact! IRL cranky sometimes redhead chick at large in Las Vegas, NV0 -

✭Update: heard it in the Navire dungeons as I was doing the story quest. I took a short video of it. You can hear it clearly. Unless it's supposed to be doing this...

✭✭✭✭✭Do you have a Dwemer-type non-combat pet out?
It sounds obvious, but I've been confused by similar sounds before remembering my Loyal Dwarven Sphere was following me around."A probable impossibility is preferable to an improbable possibility." - Aristotle0 -

✭✭✭✭✭It's a bug.
The sound effect is from the final boss of Dreadsail Reef. Sometimes, it will just get stuck and won't stop playing. If that happens, that sound will follow you to all sorts of other places. The only way to fix this is to restart the game.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

Restart as in exit program or restart as in new character?0 -

I remember someone had a similar problem with sounds getting stuck months ago. In that case, returning to the character screen did it. Unfortunately, the same bug came up again regularly.@Syldras | PC | EU

In the case of this specific sound bug, that is insufficient. The player must exit the game completely.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU
