Can the background swishing noises be reduced? - very annoying!

Continual swishing noises - probably water marking copy protection?

Can these be reduced? - they are quite intrusive on some music.

I've never heard those before.. are you sure they're not just part of the song, or perhaps that your device/headphones are wacky?

It's not just me.  I have just found this Spotify question thread via Google ...

Looks like it is on the music put there by the supplying recording companies. 😞

I've heard it on Tidal as well.

Can you list some of the affected tracks?

Pretty much all tracks - listen to the gaps in say solo piano - I understand now that it is copy protection noise added by the music provider.
Diabolical!! - I pay Spotify for the music, I'm not trying to cheat anyone but I have to put up with the background noise.
