Windows 10: Every microphone I use makes glitchy sounds

I unplug the microphone and it continues to happen. It happens every once in a while, and sometimes for a few seconds and other times a few minutes. I don't really know how else to describe this, as it has happened with and without several audio programs I have downloaded, but I have SteelSeriesGG and Voicemod. This is the sound it makes. I have obviously tried different microphones and cords. I have tried different jacks and USBs. I have fiddled with sound settings and nothing changed.OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 Other OS Description Not Available OS Ma
