What's up with the strange high pitched buzzy noise that accompanies every bass note? Every bass sound has an accompanying tone that can't be filtered out. Here is a youtube video of it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hcfoaEnjKKU is this normal? This is somewhat of a sound design problem.

It was happening with basically all non-distorted bass drums. I would make a bass drum preset and as the bass drum would decay at the end of it there would be a kind of 'zzzuuup' noise, like a degraded echo of the drum as it fades out. The bassier and longer a sound is the more it would do it. You can hear it a little even with the base Kick model, it is like a bitcrushed sounding echo but there's no rate crush or anything like that and it is also mostly after the main bass drum noise.
It is like there is something else resonating along with the bass noise, but it is definitely a sound coming out of the speaker. It does not happen with a sampled bass drum. Interestingly, adding effects seems to reduce the instance of this happening / make it sound like natural drum resonance. When I make FM drums on my eurorack I can end up with a lot of strange bad resonating noises but I filter them out with a low pass, however, the noise seems to happen after the drum filter because I can't seem to filter them out. It is mainly an issue making long "normal" 808-style kicks. Of course I can just use a sample and it isn't an issue.
I don't think it is for normal kicks because whenever I get weird with it it sounds much better and quite awesome. I like it but it is a really weird drum machine.

Here is a clearer recording of the sound. An internet friend suggest it has something to do with the DAC bitrate? I don't know but it is a very unwanted sound that I can not get rid of. It does not seem like anyone else is able to get this sound either, perhaps my unit is defective in some way? https://soundcloud.com/r-k-v/nano
