Spatialize Stereo on Airpods Pro

I just got my airpods pro 2. If I turn off "Spatialize stereo", it's working okay. But if I turn it on and listen to music on Apple Music, there are always brief glitchy sounds somewhere throughout every song, which is very annoying and quite ruin the song. It sounds like faulty sounds often found in old vinyls. How can I fix it?
