Why is python playing strange sounds whenever I "play" music?

So i've been trying to play music on Python, what I've done is define variables inside the function and call that function inside a loop.

I've tried changing the parameters and changing the location of the variables which did not try out too well. I did try to play the music file from another location and it worked, just don't know what's wrong with my function.

def main_menu():
    DS.blit(mainmenu, (0, 0))
    pygame.display.update()
    MenuMusic = pygame.mixer.music.load("MainMenu.mp3")
    MenuMusic = pygame.mixer.music.set_volume(0.45)
    MenuMusic = pygame.mixer.music.play()


while loop:
   main_menu()

I expect the output to be the sound playing smoothly and properly in the background, but instead I'm getting these strange clicking sounds in the background kinda like someone's drumming.

This code snippet looks like you're continually re-starting the playing of the MP3.

It needs to start the playing of the sound, and when it stops re-start it. The output status of the mixer can be checked with pygame.mixer.get_busy(), which returns False when there is no sound output.

So for a looping sound, simply test that it's stopped, and re-start:

import pygame
import enum

pygame.mixer.init()
pygame.mixer.music.set_volume(0.45)

class GameState( enum.Enum ):
    PLAYING   = 1
    MENU      = 2
    GAMEOVER  = 3

# Set the game state initially.  Start on the menu screen/music
game_state = GameState.MENU

def main_menu():
    DS.blit(mainmenu, (0, 0))
    pygame.display.update()
    ...


while loop:
    # If the sound has not started (or has finished), play it (again)
    if ( pygame.mixer.get_busy() == False ):
        if ( game_state == GameState.MENU ):
            pygame.mixer.music.load( "elevator_music.mp3" )
        elif ( game_state == GameState.PLAYING ):
            pygame.mixer.music.load( "battle_music.mp3" )
        elif ( game_state == GameState.GAMEOVER ):
            pygame.mixer.music.load( "other_music.mp3" )
        pygame.mixer.music.play()

    main_menu()

EDIT: I forgot the pygame and enum imports.
