So when i audition a sound it played as intended. After downloading and dragging into NLE i get intermittent white noise or static sounds (same kind you would hear in a nag plugin) NOTE: I dl sounds here for years and never happening before.

Hi, please link to the file. Which NLE software are you using?

The most likely reasons are:
Uploader used incorrect file ending.
NLE does not support file format.
File got corrupted during downloading - redownload.

The solution most likely is to convert the files to WAV before importing. The following links will hopefully not rot for long and might do the trick:

- https://localconvert.com/ (open source)
- https://vert.sh/ (open source)
- https://audiokit.app/converter (not sure)
