Hey @lorenzo_mg, welcome to the Spotify Community! 🎵

Could you try playing the song from another platform and device? You can also test with different sets of earbuds or speakers to ensure it’s not an issue with your current setup. If the problem persists, it suggests that the static is coming from the song itself.

It’s possible that the song got corrupted during the upload process. However, this is a matter that only the copyright holder can resolve.

You can try to find the media label’s or artist’s contact info online and reach out to them to report the issue.

I hope this helps clarify the matter. For anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out. 🙂

Pretty sure it was an upload error, since i've tried in many devices and the static noise persists

I had a similar problem with the song

"Young Right Now" from "Robin Schulz"

However, after I reported the problem to Spotify support, the problem disappeared for that song.

In this song, there was a background noise, as if some girl is yelling "Nice!". This is very irritating, because I have good loudspeakers and thought that there is somebody in my house yelling this.

The yelling was at position 0:44 and 1:19 on the song. It was reproducible - I've heard it 5 or 7 times, at exactly the same time position.

I have also noticed similar noises in other songs in the last week. This is new for me. I have not noticed this before.

Could it be some very ill-considered copy protection (called "watermark")?
