I bought a Beam 2 seven month ago, and the last couple of months the Beam is developing a tinny metalic sound in talking/voice sounds (playing music is still fine, but I think other frequencies are used there,  I am sure there is technical / scientific explanation for it). Here is a sound sample example of it:

Sonos- donderdag om 19-33.m4a

This is a clip/fragment from youtube: Sonos Era 300 + Arc & Sub: Ultimate Home Audio Experience? - YouTube

So I found my self more or less forced to buy another new soundbar from Sonos (Why not another brand?; it was black Friday and I already invested in two subs and 2 Sonos surround boxes which are 1500 euro worth, and I hope it is a rare defect) which does not has that problem (and I did not also perceive that distorted effect at other cheap desktop speakers and other (Sonos) speakers, that I possess ).

The distortion was less when I placed the sound bar on soft fabric tissues, but unfortunately that did not solve it enough. Anyone an idea what kind of defect it is?

Because according to Sonos, it's the TV/PC manufacturer's fault or their software or HDMI component. Otherwise, all TVs would be affected and not just a certain percentage of devices. And on the other hand, the TV manufacturer is blaming Sonos. That's what I've understood from various Google searches and the support. Since it's only a percentage, Sonos isn't doing anything, sadly compared for such a big name of brand for sound systems. There are already 2 TVs with the problem in my situation and I'm surely not testing a third one. But that's just one thing that i complain about the Beam and the Sub. I thought I'd pay more for a new home system and going to get the Sonos, which is almost twice as expensive, but that was probably the wrong choice. Maybe they don't do anything because they have at the moment clearly more problems with the new app to all devices.......
