But it isn’t a mechanical noise. It is a noise coming through the speakers themselves. As many have pointed out, it is almost definitely feedback of some form.
Definitely something to get sorted before you do anything TOO critical (feedback can potentially be a precursor to electrical or systems failure) but not a sign that doors are going to fall off imminently.

Like back in the day when leaving a 2G GSM phone next to some computer speakers, it would make certain buzzes as it was receiving a text message or phone call.
This happened to me at work, a coworker planted a listening device in a wooden mallard and gave it to me as a gift. He was trying to collect evidence against me for attempted blackmail. I put my phone next to it and heard the staticky feedback which gave it away.
Nah, Boeing would have made the trip without saying anything and had to hire hit men for the people who knew about it when a sudden door forms upon reentry
Even if the doors won’t come flying off… man that’s not what I would want to hear when I’m falling through space. Disconcerting is a good word for that.
Given that the greatest amount of issues they had back on the ground and which led to the program being months or years late were software problems, this does not surprise me the slightest.
I know we’re joking here, but if you leave an airlock open exposed to hard vacuum you’re not going to hear any kind of audio alerts because there’s no air to transmit the sound.
Hey now, you can burn yourself with compressive heating just fine down here on earth. Specifically by accidentally touching the pipe between the pump and tank on my air compressor the other day.
I mean, it is incredibly disconcerting.

What tha heck? You can’t just leave us hanging, How’d that play out?
Haha I was just kidding, that was a plotline on The Office.
Why would a listening device have speakers though?
Because he used a walkie talkie in the wooden mallard as a listening device and it was actually from an episode of The Office
But did you check your pens?
Haha no? What kind of a psychopath would use a secondary listening device?
The kind of psychopath that uses the first?
2 months after thruster issues: check engine light finally comes on

The doors didn’t fall off. Just the front.
It’s why they had to launch it outside of the environment
Is that typical?

In recent years, many things fell off Boeing products. Just thought I mention it. One of it was a door, or rather, where a door had been.
I don’t know about that, with explosive bolts being a legitimate rocket part I would not put it past Boeing to mix them up
Given that the greatest amount of issues they had back on the ground and which led to the program being months or years late were software problems, this does not surprise me the slightest.
I’m wondering if it’s not some kind of assistive thing that got turned on randomly because it was up there too long.
For example, for docking, playing a sound that changed pitched as you got closer, etc.
That or an Easter egg engineers buried as a joke among themselves.
Boeing levering the high technology of my refrigerator automatically alerting when I leave the door open.
To be fair, if you leave an airlock door open….
It’s quite a bit worse than a fridge.
I know we’re joking here, but if you leave an airlock open exposed to hard vacuum you’re not going to hear any kind of audio alerts because there’s no air to transmit the sound.
sound will also transmit through the physical structure, so you can feel the vibrations if your touching walls.
But if you really want to get pedantic… you’ll probably notice the whole choking-on-vacuum-thing first.
We agree completely!
Although, it probably is the stupid kind of shit Boeing would do. An audible alarm for “oh shit you have no air!”
Have you seen PG&E rates lately?
The Final Countdown starts quietly playing next.
If Gob is on the ISS, I’ll finally respect him as a magician.
As you fall through the atmosphere at such a rate that the air catches fire…

They properly lubricated the doors with dish soap, so all is good.
Great Value dish soap, they were out of dawn
