I just listened again and it was definitely section 14. One of the more notable buzzes in my opinion is while you say "August 14th" at 0:21.
hmm sorry I cranked it up as loud as my ears could bear it, I don't hear it. :( My ears are not the best I fear. Do you think it needs re-doing ? Is it really disturbing ?

Hm, I'm kind of on the other end of that spectrum--I have this weird sensitivity to sound (for example, I can't hold a conversation when the radio is on in the background).
So it's distracting for me, but I imagine that for a lot of people it wouldn't be all that intrusive. Although, maybe since it's only a few seconds, a replacement of those lines would be nice?

I just listened on another computer and still can't find any noise. So I guess your ears must be really finely tuned. Seeing that I won't have time to correct this in the next few days and the rest of the project is all PL ok, I think the noise is not so bad so that we need to hold up the project from being archived. I think we can let it pass for this time.

Carolin, if you want to check the part and if you also notice a great disturbance, and you want to wait a few more days, I will try to correct it during the week. But for me it's good as it is. (and you know that I am picky :lol:)

One thing I just realised: I ONLY hear the buzz when I'm listening through headphones, not when I'm playing it over speakers. Maybe that's the difference between us hearing it or not?
It's not a fault in my headphones, I've tried swapping them out for others and that didn't have any effect ;)

could be your headphones are more sensitive to noise. :hmm: I listened to both my headphones and over loudspeaker and never heard it. So I guess we're safe to give it the ok in this case.

thanks !

3, 16, 17, 18, 20 all PL OK :thumbs: Very nicely read!

I have one comment on section 19,
0:09 I hear "Getting even higher, higher" where I was expecting "ever".
I know this shouldn't be word-perfect PL but I think it does change the meaning a bit in this poem. But up to you if you want to correct it.
I've re-recorded section 19. New running length 0:57. Thanks!
