Battlefield V "Ghosts/Screaming Demons" Audio Glitch/Bug

Product: Battlefield V
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4 Pro
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region South America
On which server did this happen? EA DICE Official server
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 19.01.2019
Summarize your bug Mode: Squad Conquest (was not listed); Map: Hamada; Summary: During gameplay, after exiting a vehicle, the game audio playback glitched out going silent, but then reproducing gunshots with extreme reverberation and high sound levels at the same time. Also, ambient sounds seemed reversed and reverberated, occasionally playing long screams and haunting sounds, similar to "ghosts" or "demons". Audio is also clipped/distorted, probably due to high line levels. Happened only once, so far.
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I have no clues on how to reproduce it instead of playing Squad Conquest on Hamada and fidgeting with vehicles.
What happens when the bug occurs? Audio playback glitches out in a spectacular fashion.
What should be happening instead? Normal gameplay. No audio bugs.

I've made a Reddit post about this bug. In it, you'll find video evidence of the audio glitch:

I've seen at least one person that reproduced most of the variables: 1- Squad Conquest; 2- Hamada; 3- Glitch happened after exiting a vehicle (in his case he left the vehicle as it was being destroyed by incoming enemy tank rounds).

You can see his Reddit post (there's also a video), here:

  • Happened to me on PC on Squad Conquest on Hamada too. I was also in a vehicle (Flakpanzer) when it started. On the next round, which was Arras, it was normal though.

    Here is a video showing the sounds:




  • Interesting! But your bug seemed way less intense than what happened in these two cases I've shown. Also, it seems like the constant variables so far are: Squad Conquest, Hamada, and Vehicles. It seems that this happens cross-platform as well. I hope somebody figures this out cuz it's creepy AF

    Until today, no mention of this bug from the developers. Oh well, I tried.
