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.
Sorry, cant hear anything special at 30 sec. This "vinyl" noice starts at 19 sec and goes on more or less for the whole track.
I concur with gosta. Wouldn't characterize it as faint, I'd say it is intentionally added for effect.
