Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.17 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

In the login-screen, it stops after logging in. After turning the screen back on after blanking (my system settings have "Screen energy saving: Switch off after 10 min" set and "Suspend" disabled), there is the same static noise. One way I found to make is disappear is to invoke "pavucontrol". As soon as it opens, the noise is gone. Seems to me like some gain setting or the like is not properly (re)initialized after screen blanking. Strangely enough, pavucontrol seems to fix this by just starting, with no further user interaction.
