Sorry for the delayed answer
Thank you fort your attention~
I play on PC.
The sound is not linked to the emotions or "background noises".
It sounds a bit like the sound that the Reaper has around him.
When the noise begins, if I pause the game, the noise continue till it ends (they a several "sort" of noises. They are during 1 to 4 seconds, depending on what "sort" of noise is played)
I have mods on, if you want to know
Mods and or custom content are players choice and can make the game more interesting and fun for some players.
Unfortunately they can also cause unexpected problems.
Do you have Grim's Ghoulish Guitar (EA bonus for signing up for newsletters) in your game? It makes a creepy noise like the one that follows the Grim Reaper.
Testing on a vanilla (no mods/cc) folder is the best way to investigate causes of issues.

Be sure to protect your saves and any items not shared on the gallery.
Make a copy of your saves, screenshots, tray and mods folders and save them to a safe place outside the game.
Once those files are safely stored out side of the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder you will need to create a fresh folder for testing.
There are two ways to do this and I have successfully used both.
*Once you have a copy of the files above open The Sims 4 folder and delete everything. (My personal preferred method).
*Second method is to rename The Sims 4 folder to The Sims 4.old which will preserve all the contents.
*All the folders will be freshly generated when you open Origin and start a new game.
*Play for a bit in the new save to see if the odd sounds are still there.
If the sound is gone you may need to update any mods or cc you have in your game.
If the sound is still there without mods/cc there may be an issue with your PC such as outdated drivers etc.
