It is a possibility that the DAW software is set to a different bitrate than 44.1/16 and the conversion process is the problem.






Sorry, Mac, thanks, but that's not it.
The noises are in the wav file itself.
They can be heard in Media Player, Audacity, etc.
Nothing to do with the DAW.

Am wondering what happens if the OP tries other methods of export, such as drag 'n drop directly into DAW instead of to Explorer window first.





I can try that but I used to drag directly into the DAW.
But then I pointed out about a year ago that when the next BiaB USB hard drive upgrade arrives, all of the dragged tracks disappear!
Peter suggested I drag to Explorer instead so my files can be backed up and also still be there when the next version comes out.
I thought was a great idea so that is what I do now.
