Question for EBTG fans.....


Something that’s been bugging me is that about 30 seconds into the track “Low tide of the night” from Tempermental by Everything but the Girl is a faint snap/crackle/pop noise that my brain associates with stylus noise, but the recording I am listening to is digital (Tidal).  What am I hearing?  Is it noise from the recording, if so is it there intentionally?  

System is PS Audio dac -> BAT VK-55 -> Thiel CS 2.3s.

Is the noise sustained or is it a transient?  It could be there intentionally to give an analog feel or if its a sudden short burst it could also just be a recording artifact. I have not heard the track itself though.
