I don’t know the answer but I have a few thoughts. I would first try changing the Count-in Option, to determine if I heard that sound on more than one choice.

We know a few things that might be relevant.

First, it is normal for a piano or guitar to play a pickup note. But this isn’t that, because it occurs at the beginning of the count-in and not the last beat.

We know that we often can hear an odd noise upon the song file repeating. This does sound more like that. And yet this is at the beginning of the song for its first time playing, not on a repeat.

So I don’t know.
