Sound quality

I've noticed something odd in the book I'm currently listening to (Sinatra: The Chairman, by James Kaplan). Every once in a while, the sound quality seems to change slightly for a few sentences or so, then change back.

What I'm theorizing is that the written book might have had last-minute edits and the audio needed to be re-recorded in spots to reflect the edits, then incorporated into the whole. But this sort of thing must happen frequently when an audiobook is put together, yet I've never noticed it before in the couple of hundred books I've listened to in the past few years. Have any of you noticed something like this?

I've occasionally been aware of a bit of difference from chapter to chapter, say, in other books, but that seems like it would just be a natural break from one recording session to another.
