I have experienced this same issue three times. Right after hearing it, "Microsoft Edge WebView2" appears as a new sound source, and goes away when the app is closed. I'm assuming that webview is used to display the ads, but is being improperly packaged. I can also confirm that the playstation ad has been 2 of the three ads that I heard, I do not know what the third one was. Also, the "mute" button on the ad is not visible but still useable on these broken ads.

Additionally, this happens on the home screen and in the main screen for profiles (only two places I've tested it) Also notably, the bug can happen both when an ad is displayed, and when there is no ad being displayed and the "90% of ad revenue goes to creators" is visible.

It's some stupid Playstation game Advert. Ditto on the ad not being displayed, too.

I also gotten this on the log viewer, which retains the sidebar (including the ad) from the profile home screen.
