Just to add some information, this appears to be caused by line 2990 in the audio/runtime.js file.

context["listener"]["setPosition"](this.listenerTracker.obj.x, this.listenerTracker.obj.y, this.listenerZ);[/code:4z6hp0i1]

Not sure why it affects the object's movement though.

Sounds like this Chrome bug which was previously discussed here.

Closing as this is a Chrome issue. Also it looks like as per the last comment in the Chrome bug they've already done something about this, and I verified the jank is much smaller in Canary. It probably won't be entirely eliminated though - the reason for the jank is the browser lazy-loading the positioned audio playback engine the first time you use it.
