Extremely loud static bleep noise sound from Lossless tracks in Apple Music

Since Lossless was introduced, every so often I'll get this incredibly loud (quite scary) high-pitched static noise that lasts for about a second. This only seems to happen at the start of tracks. I've removed downloads and have turned Lossless off in my Apple Music Mac preferences, but it still seems to be happening. It's like I can't download the original AAC (non-Lossless, non-Dolby) tracks anymore!? I use Apple Music every single day and this has never happened; it's extremely off-putting and needs to be fixed immediately. I don't really care much for Lossless nor Dolby Atmos, I just want to be able to listen to music without worrying about this insanely loud bleep noise.

It occurs while listening using my MBP speakers (built-in) AND also external speakers connected via aux to a monitor. So the problem isn't unique to the audio output. It seems like its a bug that needs to be ironed out in a new update.

I have this same problem while listening using Macbook, iPhone, Airpods while listening to Lossless (Hearing Less/Loss?)

It is PAINFULLY LOUD, much louder than the music volume. It could easily damage a customer's eardrums if it hasn't already. This is serious and should be fixed immediately.
