But it isn’t a mechanical noise. It is a noise coming through the speakers themselves. As many have pointed out, it is almost definitely feedback of some form.
Definitely something to get sorted before you do anything TOO critical (feedback can potentially be a precursor to electrical or systems failure) but not a sign that doors are going to fall off imminently.

Like back in the day when leaving a 2G GSM phone next to some computer speakers, it would make certain buzzes as it was receiving a text message or phone call.
This happened to me at work, a coworker planted a listening device in a wooden mallard and gave it to me as a gift. He was trying to collect evidence against me for attempted blackmail. I put my phone next to it and heard the staticky feedback which gave it away.
I know we’re joking here, but if you leave an airlock open exposed to hard vacuum you’re not going to hear any kind of audio alerts because there’s no air to transmit the sound.
I mean, it is incredibly disconcerting.

I’m wondering if it’s not some kind of assistive thing that got turned on randomly because it was up there too long.
For example, for docking, playing a sound that changed pitched as you got closer, etc.
That or an Easter egg engineers buried as a joke among themselves.
Boeing levering the high technology of my refrigerator automatically alerting when I leave the door open.
To be fair, if you leave an airlock door open….
It’s quite a bit worse than a fridge.
I know we’re joking here, but if you leave an airlock open exposed to hard vacuum you’re not going to hear any kind of audio alerts because there’s no air to transmit the sound.
sound will also transmit through the physical structure, so you can feel the vibrations if your touching walls.
But if you really want to get pedantic… you’ll probably notice the whole choking-on-vacuum-thing first.
We agree completely!
