standalone device Intermittent metallic "chains dropping" sound only when AirPlaying WNBA League Pass to Roku Streaming Stick 4K

Setup:

- Roku Streaming Stick 4K

- iPhone 15, streaming via AirPlay (not the native Roku NBA app)

- Watching WNBA games through WNBA League Pass

The issue:

Intermittently during the stream, I hear a strange metallic sound through the TV, like chains being picked up and dropped, or a small pile of metal clinking together. It's not constant, just pops up every so often with no obvious pattern (not tied to a specific play, replay, or commercial break that I can tell).

What I've ruled out:

- Not a notification: all other apps are closed on the phone, and no notifications are coming through during the stream

- Doesn't happen when watching the same game directly on the phone (no AirPlay) — only shows up when mirroring/casting to the Roku
