As I said earlier, the noise is very visible in spectral analysis which would rule out the sound card. It really, really glows. By selecting it then dropping the level it can be easily managed. The noise is most likely quite deliberate. A slap here and there but as I said however it was really over the top. It came out louder than the snare in the mix and was out of time in the particular song I was using it in.

I guess my point is these sorts of issues can often be easily handled using the correct tool to handle it. Using spectral editing one can get shy of the “noise” without affecting other portions of the track.
