Not here to defend google, but you searched "the FUCKING /A/ Sound". That's gonna skew your results
- After Google assistant was being trash.
  
  Reasonable
What is /A/? You mean like the letter A?
- The // "brakets" are used in linguistics to signify phonemic notation in IPA. There are no upper case letters in IPA tho, only a lower case /a/ that sounds different from the standard pronunciation in English
  
  That's what I was looking for but Google assistant is braindead, it kept open my fucking sound settings and all round being trash as usual. I started with /a/ but that didn't work either.
  
  This whole explanation got very confusing until I figure out we weren't talking about beers.... wich took a long time
- the slashes indicate it's a phoneme
  
  Actually it's an indicator of a monad. ◉⁠‿⁠◉ /s

Ok at first I thought the second guy was insane, but the more I thing about it the more I realize he's cooking. I might have discovered something new about myself today lads.
