Yes, a phone's ring tone is another way to describe this.

Please give me a link to the YouTube audio and tell me the time stamp corresponding to the audio snippet you sent. I want to listen as carefully to the source.

I wouldn't be surprised if you find no problem when you download/convert this video. See above reply to Dan. The timestamp is around 4:14.

First wild guess: does your PC have any other audio programs running that could have contributed to this, such as a streaming audio player like Pandora? I do have Pandora on my PC but never streaming when I download videos.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
