Why Do We Get 'The Zoomers'?

The Zoomers are like a tiny, invisible friend in your headphones who suddenly starts singing a really loud song. It happens when the computer tries to fix a noisy background by adding extra sounds you can't hear, but it gets confused and creates that weird, high-pitched noise instead. You're not alone, lots of people get this sound during Zoom calls.
