I was looking for a new USB-c hub and came across this article. It's an interesting write-up of what is on the inside of some popular options

I’ve use a CalDigit TS3 Plus on my MacBook Pro for a couple of years, it’s pretty reliable. There is a lot of noise over the headphone port though, so I don’t use that.

Not surprised to hear more people having this issue. I wanted a dock with usb 3 and usb c and a ports a few years back and was shocked at how few actually items were available. I tried a few that advertised as usb 3 but were obviously not. Not surprised to learn how much of a clusterfuck it was and still is.
