Ok this one is actually resolved kind of but it super freaks me out. I was working on something and had white noise in my bluetooth headphones coming from Spotify on my browser. At like 2 in the morning, over the white noise, and without making a noise like it connected to anything else, the headphones started playing this like chatter (like people chit chatting) and eventually the started singing what sounded like hymns, at the same time the headset kept cutting in and out and this went on for like 10 minutes. I turned off the Spotify, closed the browsers, confirmed my headset wasn't connected to anything else and nothing else was playing sound that I could see.
A few days later I go back to my computer, open up some separate work I had been doing (transcribing interviews) and lo and behold at the end of the roll there's the creepy fucking chatter and singing.
What it must've been was somehow my foot pedal getting triggered (though I maintain my foot was not on the pedal) and somehow, though I'm certain my app was closed, playing the end of that recording. But damn if I wasn't sure I was haunted those few days.
That sounds almost exactly like youre picking up radio signals. This exact thing has happened to me before, I even picked up a local religious station like I'm assuming you did. Some of the churches in my area have their own little radio broadcast antennas and thats why I think their signal was the one to cut through. Speakers and headphones have been been able to pick this stuff up for like as long as both technologies have existed. You're not crazy and tons of people have been through this
Are you positive it was the exact same chatter and singing?

ETA: white noise auditory hallucinations are common even in those without psychiatric disorders, even though that's what the paper is based on, I just couldn't find quick paper link about non-disordered hallucinations.
