Cartridge alignment question/problem

I have noticed on a couple of turntables, a few different arms and cartridges the following phenomena...during quiet portions of the recording (either during transition between tracks of transition from quiet to loud) that I can hear faintly in the background a "preview" of what the record will play on the next revolution. Basically I think what is happening is that the cartridge is somehow detecting the grooves in the next innermost rotation. I suspect that I have some sort of alignment problem but am not so sure given the fact that I heard this on various setups of mine...which of course could mean that I have been consistently wrong. I have used jigs and protractors etc on each.

Any thoughts from the learned on what could be causing this?

Thanks
