Overall I like them, but when listening to music, audiobooks, etc at low volume I notice a subtle squeal (more accurately it sounds a little like someone scratching a record) on the left side. It&#39;s pretty subtle, but it can get distracting at times. I thought maybe it was some type of feedback from the noise cancelling feature (it only makes that sound when that feature is activated), but I&#39;m not sure why it would only happen on one side. Does this sound normal?

I know that the jack I plug into my computer can be touchy, and if it isn&#39;t perfectly plugged in it can cause some weird static through the headphones. What kind did you buy?
