Anyone else having issues with static noise accompanying haptics after the Pixel March software update? (self.googlepixel)

My Pixel 7a updated overnight to the latest version of Android (Build number: BP1A.250305.019).

Since the update, I now have a static noise accompanying all haptic feedback, which is quite annoying. Very poor video recorded here: https://files.catbox.moe/vcshm5.mp4

The issue is reproducible in safe boot mode, so not related to an app I have installed.

I've been in touch with Google Support who told me to go and get it diagnosed at one of their approved warranty repair stores (the phone has 1 more year of warranty on it). I called ahead to the store, and the employee told me they don't diagnose or fix issues like that, and told me to mail it in to Google Repair directly instead.

I'm a little concerned about mailing it in, as it can take 7-10 days to get it returned, and there's no guarantee they can repair it. So I guess I'll be without a phone for 7-10 days, which in this day and age really isn't that possible.

Anyone else had this issue with the haptic resulting in a static noise? There are quite a few reports on Reddit about some issues with haptic being affected by the March Pixel update, but none relates to it emitting a static noise like in my case.

This seems to have magically fixed itself. This morning the static hissing was still there. Without having done anything to any settings, or changed anything on the phone that to my knowledge could impact this, haptics no longer gives off a static sounding hiss when triggered.
