Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.

This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

After doing this command, I started hearing a static voice in both sides of the headset at the same time while testing both(Front Left and Front Right). I tested another device (earphones) and it worked fine where each side was making the noise alone depending on the test.

Sounds like the jack isn't fully in or not of high quality. The -c 2 is 2 channels aka left and right, it should NOT output to both at the same time. And yes, it's a pink noise aka static. You can change the noise though.
$ speaker-test -t sine -f 440 -c 2 -l 1 -D hw:0
Tuning A by old standards. More like 442 by modern standards since fixed pitch percussion instruments don't tune very well.

You are totally right about the jack not being fully inserted. I took it for granted. I apologize for wasting your time on something this silly.
