Anyone noticed some background noise in Norah Jones recording?

[Zuerst]

Seems like in Norah Jones's Come Away With Me track 1: Don't Know Why there is some background static/soft pop noise scattered around the 1:06 mark of the track that's not present in the other track? Did I just get a bad copy or is this present in every disc and just a bad edit/recording?

Thanks,

EDIT:

Just confirm all those static/"faint popping" noises on track 1 "Don't Know Why" from the CD itself, the EAC VBR rip I did, and a 256kbps version I downloaded off the net.

Happens at around these marks...

0:26
0:33
0:55~58
1:07
1:11
1:18
1:31~32
1:42
1:52
2:05
2:10~2:20
2:50

There are some others but not as noticable in comparison and I didn't really bother to take note...

Can't imagine how bad it would sound on a real high end system since this is just with the HD555...

I think this is a well documented phenomenon. You will find even more weird stuff on other tracks.

Do you know of some threads I can look at to compared other's observations to mine?

BTW how's the SAx000 shoot-out doing?

Thanks,

Did everyone completely forget there's a MUSIC forum?

What the hell?

That's just the sound of Norah's cash register ringing up some other poor fool's dough . . .

Ok, here's one for you: It's a 13khz tone in Leftfield's track Release the pressure, once at 2:30 and again at about 6:00, which makes an otherwise good track unbearable

So it's all over the place then? Then why did I buy the CD in the first place? Think I return it and say the production quality is not up to standard...

See posts 24 to 32 in this thread. That was a different thing though, I was pointing to some straneous noises in the third track which sounded to me like a train or subway in the background. The noises might come from some strings, but in any case they sound totally disconnected from the ongoing music.

Do you only hear these things while using really high end stuff or does it appear on lower end stuff too?

If you were asking me about my post in the other thread, the noises appeared on lower end stuff too.

I heard it on Sony D-EJ925->Zu Pivot->Gilmore Lite->HD555. Not high end by any means. I'll probably hear it on the ER4-P too but I just got the CD and haven't try it out with the ER4 yet.

EDIT: I can't type...

I just noticed I did not listen to any Norah Jones for ages since her CD makes my phones sound broken. Pity.

Hmmm, I can only hear a few of those, and never noticed them until you mentioned it. I've heard a lot worse recordings than that one.

Just wondering, does this bother you guys that much to have some imperfections in the recording? What makes it different than real life? I find myself not that bothered by little noises. How about things like tape hiss or vinyl pops and crackles?
