Sound effects stuttering when player dies?

I've been trying to finish up the stealth tutorial , and for whatever reason whenever the player dies, the siren sound effects stutter and the alarm lights do not go off. I even went as far to replace my scripts with the ones straight from the tutorial. I honestly have no idea why its doing this. Does anyone have some experience with this tutorial or an idea of why this might be happening?

edit* alright I got the music to lerp back to the normal music when the player dies. The sirens are still spazzing out though. i'm not sure why.
