For some time now i have been hearing a very strange sound intermittenly in my song files. The only way to discribe it is as a cricket like sound. when the song file (several do this) plays every now and again this little subtle cricketish sound is heard.

I have several therories.

1. it is a plug in, but hhmmm wait i happens on new song files that have no plugins

2. it is midi based, hhhmmm how? midi makes no sounds unless they are thru a synth. I have heard it when using more than one synth.

3. it is in my speakers (monitors) mmmmm maybe, but that is not likely since i hear it in the headphones as well.

4. in the sound card, still i hear it with both the m-audio card and the Tascam interface.

5. In the computer, well maybe, but again i heard it in the last computer and also in this new one. Although, I am using the same secondary hard drive to run the program.

6. Maybe it is in RB, as I only hear it in RB. Could it be back to a plugin that is not registered?

Very curious i think. Any thoughts from the folks here on this forum would be helpful.
