Listening to Guy Gavriel Kay's Children of Earth and Sky. The story is fine, the narration is good (Simon Vance -- whose reading of Monsarrat's The Cruel Sea I enjoyed), but there's an audio artifact that's driving me a bit bonkers! I believe it's a poorly adjusted noise gate of some kind that results in a sort of "sucking" noise after every pause. It's a hiss that sort of sucks quickly to silence is the best way I can describe it. It's subtle, but now that I've heard it, I can't seem to unhear it. Anyone else experience that sort of thing?
