Tidal streaming needle-drops?

I'm sitting here listening to the album "Inland Territory" by Vienna Teng, streaming thru the Tidal app.  Note that I do not say CD.  The first track starts out with a rhythmic "tic" which I at first thing is maybe some digital noise introduced by the my PC.  Then it gradually transmutes  into a rhythmic "swish" and then decreases in amplitude and then fades away and I realize that I am hearing a defect in an LP!  Anyone else notice that on music available through Tidal?

Though I am certain I've heard needle-drops while streaming "hi-res" from HD-Classics, I am pretty sure that the sound you heard on this album is part of the musical arrangement. I could be wrong. Is this album even available on LP? It was released in 2009 meaning there may not even be a analog tape master, let alone vinyl. 

Yet I am enjoying this artist's music so thanks for the heads up on her.
