Thank you very much for these readings. I hear no noise in either recording. I think Checker may be confused because you don't have a full 5 seconds of silence at the end.
There are a couple of notes (mostly on pronunciations):

Section 20:
0:59 - "E'en" should be pronounced "een". The purpose of the apostrophe is to drop a syllable, to keep the rhythm.
1:11 - "funereal" should have 4 syllables: fyoo·nee·ree·uhl
1:30 - "once it us'd to go" us'd is "used"
The ending silence is too short. Please increase to 5 seconds.

Section 38:
00:53 - "E'en" should be pronounced "een".
1:55 - I hear "from Ophea's mine", text says "from Ophir's mine"
The ending silence is too short. Please increase to 5 seconds.

Thank you Karen, very nicely read. Section 58 is PL OK.

Just one note for Section 42:

0:34 - "And eyes with fix'd and rigid stare" - "fix'd" should be only one syllable. I hear "fix-ed", should be "fixd". Also a bit of a stumble on "eyes" right before that.

I'm not sure if I read "funereal" correctly so if this isn't good I might need more guidance.
Thanks

Thank you. 38 is PL OK now.

Maybe this will help with "funereal"? There are 2 audio links. Sorry, I should have provided this earlier.
