Audio issue with trident nozzle

[bryanjrobertson]

Having reinstalled the game to start playing the Tomb Raider DLC I've come across an audio bug when using the trident nozzle. While using that nozzle at certain times the audio of the water flow will turn into a horrible buzzsaw type noise.

It's hard to pinpoint what exactly causes it--some combination of the angle of the washer against the surface and the distance between the two--but as I'm sweeping around washing stuff the buzzing constantly comes in/drops off so it's not a rare ocurrence by any means. And if I find a place where the buzzing happens and I keep the washer still the buzzing is continuous so it's consistent in that regard.

It's so horrible and off-putting that I've just had to turn the water pitch all the way down which muffles it to some degree, but of course that just makes the entire game sound like I'm listening to it through earplugs so it's not great.

Has anyone else come across this or have any ideas for a solution?

Note that I did't play too much with the trident nozzle before the DLC was released so it's possible it was also an issue in previous versions of the game, but I think I would've noticed it before because it's such a horrible noise so my gut feel is that it's a recently introduced thing.

Actually, I realise now that I should've posted this in the 'Report A Problem' section and that someone's already mentioned it there:

I'm getting same buzzsaw sound just playing the subway station with the yellow nozzle and medium extension and Pro washer.
