Public bug reported:

Whenever I plug in my Sennheiser HD1 Wired headphones with mic, I start hearing 
a static/electric (some internal?) sound if the volume isn't muted. This does 
not occur with my other earbuds with mic, only the Sennheisers. It works fine 
on Windows 10 running on the same machine, and on my Android phone. I don't 
notice is when something is playing, but the frequency of the sound changes 
when I play something, then pause it, the background noise will sound slightly 
different.
This is from an installed Ubuntu 18.10. I have tried booting 18.10 Live USB and 
18.04.1 LTS Live USB, and the issue still occurs. I have tried playing with 
alsamixer and pavucontrol settings, and nothing fixed this background noise.
