[Bug] Adobe Premiere adding Audio Noise/Hiss on Playback

I have edited audio clips that sound great and contain no background noise/hiss in programs such as VLC and Adobe Audition, but for some reason when I play those exact same files back in my Adobe Premiere Timeline they now contain background noise/hiss.

However, when I render that exact same clip and play it back in VLC, the audio hiss/noise is not present.

Why is Adobe Premiere adding background audio noise/hiss on playback and how do I make it stop?

Thank you.
