You're not pattern matching all auto-generated audio. You are pattern matching the audio generated by a specific algorithm. An attacker who has access to your microphone will know which laptop you have and what hardware it has.
This assumes an attacker is targeting you specifically since otherwise this is all moot (a broad attack could care less as to why your microphone is off).
