Screeching glitchy sound before next song starts

In this playlist:

at the end of this song

and before the next song

there is (playing in reverse chronological order without shuffle) a glitchy and loud sound can be heard for about half a second. I have attached an audio recording of the sound. This problem has persisted after logging in and out, reinstallation and it even happened again after reinstalling my operating system. (which I didn't do because of this bug but still) The sound can be heard in the recording at around 0:11 seconds at the transition between the songs.

Hi there,

 

This is just a sound that is at the end of "Not Even Worried About It." It's nothing to worry about, as it's part of the track! 

 

Hope this helps!

Ooh, well that's weird. I thought I had also heard it on the transition of different songs but I guess not, because that makes a lot of sense then. 

No worries! I checked it in transitioning that song to different songs as well, and it's definitely at the very tail end of the track.

 

If you have crossfade turned on (which lets two tracks blend in together for a few seconds as they're transitioning so you don't hear any silence), you might have heard it in the beginning seconds of when it swapped to the next track (since the last few seconds of the previous song overlap the first few seconds of the next), which could make it a bit more indescernible on which track it belongs to. 

 

 

ok but this is weird now. I've found another two (different) songs where the same thing happens on the transition between the songs. This happens on desktop mac, web browser chrome and iPhone app.

Hello again, 

 

This is a part of the song "Hidden Venus." It may not have been intentional by the artist/label, but it's a part of the song nonetheless. Nothing to worry about on your end. Interesting catch, though! 

ah ok. that's weird. So there seem to be a number of songs that have a weird sound at the end...

Yes, it's most likely just an artifact that happened when the song was being mixed that didn't get caught before publishing.
