Smooth Chill doesn't carry news (but does things like Rememberance Day, albeit in a very minimal form).
It could have been nothing but it's not a noise I've ever heard on there before - could be an engineer preparing something perhaps.
I'm sure in the fullness of time we'll hear raw output from IRN.
At risk of speculating it's possible that one or more radio station may have decided to urgently test their IRN feed to check it's working. It wouldn't surprise me if a few stations revert to news feeds when the Queen eventually passes for at least a few hours.
