Funny, in last weekend I was playing with various projects [0][1][2] based on the idea from this article. It was impressive how long range Raspberry Pi achieved even without the cable antenna. They do work - transmit audio over the FM waves, but sadly the quality (buzzing noise) is far from expectations. Initially, I thought it is just my Raspi 3B, but when dived into the issues section on GitHub, I noticed more people were claiming they had similar problems. Do you know what could cause such degradation? Is there any better solution to transmit FM in a home? Worrying fact is it also spams close ranges making them unable to listen. Have you applied any filter making it more stricter about the wave range it will take?

No. There are some that actually use the Raspberry Pi hardware, such as PiFM[0]. Others merely use GPIO, which of course can work on a number of other SBCs (eg a Beaglebone Black) or anything with GPIOs. The only Raspberry Pi specific thing here is how it connects to the webcam, because the Raspberry Pi doesn't expose the camera as a standard v4l device, they have their own way of doing it.
