Too much interference, couldn’t hear story and very annoying. Would love to hear a better version.

Terrible Audio


(1 star)

The audio on this track is very low volume, muddy sound, and lots of high-frequency screeching. I _think_ the opening is supposed to be music, but it could also be the sound of a crowd or an ambulance. (It's that bad.)
