Hey everyone, has anyone else run into an audio issue with Murf's downloaded WAV files? I'm getting a strange, low-frequency background hum when I play them on certain devices or in specific editors. It's not present in the Murf studio preview, only after download.

Here's what I've mapped out so far:
* The hum is clear on my desktop media player and when imported into one of my older video editing suites.
* It's *not* audible when played directly on my phone, or in Audacity on the same desktop.
* I'm using the standard "Studio Quality" WAV download setting (44.1 kHz, 16-bit). Tried the "High Quality" option too, same result.
* It happens with multiple voices and scripts, so it seems consistent.

This feels like it could be a sample rate or bit-depth compatibility issue with some playback systems? Maybe something in the WAV header? I'm trying to pin down the exact technical cause before I add these to a client project.

Would love to compare notes if others have hit this. Has anyone found a workaround, like converting the file with a specific tool or changing a Murf setting I might have missed? I've started a quick comparison table of the output files.
