Check the notification sounds for both chats and group messages.

Sometimes these can get corrupted, esp if you have previously used a different phone and restored your whatsapp settings to a new one.

Also check if "Lock Screen talkback accessibility" is on.

Could be "Hey Google" ?

Try saying "Hey Google" when in range of yout phone and see if you get the same voice?
