Game freezes and emits a buzzing sound

Product: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes
Platform:Android Phone
What type of device are you experiencing the issue with? Samsung Note 9
OS Version 9
Ally Code: (Find it here: http://bit.ly/AllyCode ) 639-636-975
What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Summarize your bug All game sound is replaced by a buzzing noise. This sound persists even after minimising the app but stops as soon as swgoh is closed. Usually the game will completely freeze at the same time. It must be force closed from this state. It is happening with more frequency since the last update. Previously the freezing only seemed to affect arena and Sith raid. It now occurs in GA too, as well as in some menu screens. For example, accessing the raid screen triggered the crash minutes ago. My client is up to date, I play on a fast and strong WiFi connection and usually close all apps when playing. I believe I have all required assets (saw this as a potential issue in a similar post). When this happens during arena or GA it's very frustrating, and the fact it is occurring more frequently is concerning. Any info / advice would be most welcome! Screenshots of two recent crashes attached. Edit: Further pics added of crashes that occurred within a couple of hours of making the thread.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure, this happens on a regular basis but I've not been able to find a specific trigger.

Country Uk

Screenshots attached.

Edit: Updated with most recent crash (sith raid p2)

Edit 2: One last update to illustrate frequency; crashed again, managed 1 successful sith p2 run before it happened again. This time it crashed during Sion's intro. Have screenshot but as already uploaded 3 images.

    Have you been using a toothpick to dig over these years? 

    This thread has multiple people calling foul on your app. Its all over reddit too.

    Just lost my GAC again because it crashed and buzzing sound until I completely close the app.

    This appears to have been fixed (for me at least).  Since the update that introduced the new-style character/ship browser, I haven't had a single crash.  Interested to know if anyone else has had the same experience.

    I used to have this issue on my Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact. When I switched to my Zenfone 8 in June 1st, which has a much more powerful cpu, the issue stopped appearing.
