That's unfortunate, I hope you're doing okay. But I think the strange noise is intentional and is supposed to emulate the hum/buzzing of the old electric lights (which was a part of thd old original post that spawned the backrooms craze)
That said I guess it wouldn't be bad to have an accessibility setting to turn off irritating noises like this without having to turn off the game's sound effects entirely. We'll see what the devs do.
