Freesound Forums

Anyone experiencing this? I was told that if it's a big file that it will happen, so I deleted my last WAV file and reloaded as an MP3. That worked fine, but my next upload was also an MP3 and it had the squeak sound again. WTF? I never had this problem before and if it keeps up then I will stop using this site. Comments?

Hey there

Here is a relevant thread for you about this topic: https://freesound.org/forum/bug-reports-errors-and-feature-requests/42667/

I don't know who told you, but the file size shouldn't have an effect on the transcoded preview file, the resulting quality loss will be the same for any upload because the transcoding algorithm doesn't change.

I'm quitting this site.

I just want to stress that when you or someone else downloads a file, you are getting it exactly how it was uploaded, unadulterated. So bear that in mind.

Never had the problem before. I don't get it.

Freesound preview only squeaks in some files played in certain browsers ...

Thanks for sharing that. I initially tried to find this one!

My conjecture is that after years of happy listening this squeaky problem can suddenly arise after an automatic update to the OS or browser.

I have no idea. Tried it again last night and the same thing.
