UPDATE: turns out this is happening not only on HN in my browser, so definitely its from my side.
Did you open the web developer console and capture the URL that is being loaded? If you happened to capture the URL's I would suggest saving the logs as plain text and emailing as an attachment to [email protected] for dang to review.
By the time I opened DevTools the audio has already stopped, I searched for video/audio html tags, but found nothing
Reader for a site element opened and read the title? Do you have the screen-reader addon added?

Hey, I don't have any screen-reader turned on on my chrome or my machine
Maybe a bug in Chrome
Check what sites permissions are, what can send 'notifications' to you and clear them out. That is a big source of these things.
Was it some Text-to-speech feature in your browser maybe?

What was the voice saying? If it was not understandable, why?
Which version of Chrome and OS?
Win10 & Chrome Version 105.0.5195.102 (Official Build) (32-bit)
