Enjoyed my first Audio Book

I'm now having a very, hard time finding another book with similar qualities with both narrator, and the calming nature of The Secret Garden.

This story, and narrator (no unwanted sounds with their voice) were both wonderful to get my mind on the story, and off of my insomnia/race-brain.

I tried 3 or 4 different stories I thought would be good, but the narrators on every one I tried sounded like a sort of squeak every time they had to use an "S" in their words. This was on my Android so I first tried "equalizer" that's on the phone (thought more base might do it) and when that didn't work I downloaded one to try on Google Play Store, same issue.

Anyone else experience this and how did you solve it? I so want to continue with these books to finally get to sleep, and sometimes when I wake at odd hours, I can flip it back on (I have it set to go off after 90 minutes)and fall back to sleep again with no awful race brain. I do struggle with an illness that causes my symptoms, and this is the first thing that helps me fall asleep.

Thanks for any pointers in advance on finding good quality narrated audios, denise PS I do use Librivox and Libby, lean towards using Libby the most. I too miss Overdrive, but I'm adjusting I also wanted to add I'm interested in reading the Anne of Green Gables books, tried one of those last night, same issue with squeeky sounding "S's".
