I have a Progressive Web App in Angular 6 that includes an audio HTML5 tag to play some sounds. I deploy it to Firebase.
The problem I have is in Safari Browser (Mobile and Desktop, latest versions). Somehow the Service Worker makes that a "Live Broadcast" message appears on the rendered audio tag when you try to play the sound (or even before you try to click on play button).
I don't get this "error" in Chrome, only in Safari.
I published an example app so that you can see the problem (remember to visit the app from a Safari browser).
In this repository you can find the code of the example app.
The "Live broadcast" message is something like this: Live Broadcast message in Safari
I need that users can play the audio without getting that "Live Broadcast" text on the HTML5 audio player. I think it is something related with the Service Worker configuration, I'm not sure though. It might be an Angular problem too.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Versions:
Angular version: 6.0.1
angular/cli version: 6.0.1
Node version: 8.11.1
npm version: 5.6.0
To build the app I use: (If I don't use --prod option I don't get the "Live Broadcast" message because the service worker is not included when you don't use it)
ng build --prod
app.component.html
<div height="300px;">
<audio controls #audio123 controlsList="nodownload"
