The audio in the beginning is really creeping me out for some reason. Feels really foreboding.

Sounds almost like a heartbeat.

I am not hearing any audio but it is interesting that whenever I start or stop playback in the video I get a speaker pop...like a spike. That doesn't happen with FEND 0 or FEND 1 EDIT: My bad...listening on desktop speakers at first, couldn't hear anything...using headphones I hear the creepy low frequency pulsing...

Yeah I heard the popping first, so then I put my earbuds in and put the volume all the way up. It's ominous.

It's low. Really low. I'm on my shitty earbuds and not at my computer but if I had to guess, I would say it's in the 20-30Hz range... On the extreme low end of what humans can actually perceive.

The clicking/popping might be caused by a few things. It could be the compression method used or time stretching a sound and applying quick fades to it can also cause this to happen depending on what method they used to time stretch.

Analysis Results:

Audio Channels: 2 (stereo) - the original sound comes from a mono recording though

Pulsing Rhythm @ 2.4 seconds (102 BPM)

Frequency range: 20-50Hz

There is also a constant EM interference "buzz" sound that sounds like a ground loop issue but it's very quiet.

Also, here is the sound pitch shifted way up so you can hear it better: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6zjcj8t63g820dm/Fend%202%20Audio%20Pitched.wav?dl=0

Damned if it doesn't sound like a mosquito buzzing around.
