I've encountered a strange audio bug with 9.2b2, and now with b3 as well on my iPhone 6.

Completely out of the blue, the audio will just blank out and produce this jarring stutter kind of noise. Regardless of the app or audio source (Bluetooth, headphones, internal speaker). The only way to fix this is with a hard reset. This has now occurred at least 10 times within the last week and a half, while listening to music or other various audio/various apps. At one point in the video I received a notification, and you can hear the pitch change. Quite bizarre. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this. I wasn't able to find another post, and I frequent the bug/changes threads daily.

Posted a video below of the audio issue, as well as a very quick general overview of my thoughts on b3 which are very much positive so far. Pardon my voice, have a cold.

 
I had this on the iOS 9 GM, but it was static then it turned into that noise. Haven't had the problem since I updated my iPhone 6 to 9.0.2. I'm currently on iOS 9.0.2 Jailbroken. Maybe they reintroduced the bug in the new betas.

Update - this is happening with the latest official 9.2 release as well.

It seems like it happens more often after disconnecting Bluetooth headphones.

Some alerts are still coming through, but for the most part any system alerts or audio from any app will result in the buzzing noise until doing a hard reboot.
