Odd little sounds in songs?

I've noticed at times there's a few odd little sounds that appear in sounds that sound like they shouldn't be.

For example, at about 2:28 in Liar, I'm sure Roger says "right". And after the first "dun-dun-thump!" there's an "arrrr" type groan/sound. I'm sure in My Fairy King there's a sound of a click that shouldn't be there.

Any other songs that have little sounds left in them?
Some where in "the looser in the end"..

There is a part there that sounds like a door closing or something shutting.

I dont have the song on me to find out the exact time, but it is there,.,

how does this qualify as an "odd" sound? It's a deliberate sound effect. "...all she gets is good-bye, Ma *door slam* and the night time for her tears"
The notorious beep in Drowse. I'm afraid I will keep hearing it till the day I die.

Well how about the weird bleep in Drowse, just before the vocals start.
I think it's just a guitar sound, but it's quite out of place.

I used to think my vinyl of ADATR had a glitch, but since every release of the song has this I realized it couldn't be.

Your profile says you're Dutch. I'm Dutch as well :O The plot thickens ;-)

I haven't whipped out the vinyl for a while, but I'm guessing it's there. If it were a digital glitch, you'd have thought it might have been touched up at some point.

Haha! Should have read your post sooner. Answered my question. Cheers!
On Sheer Heart Attack (the song) there's some weird voice after "i'll you want to do is disappear" and right before "know what i mean" It sounds like someone is yelling "yahhhhhh" as if it is a parent yelling for their child or something.
It's late, but it's time to set me free It's late, yes I know but there's no way it has to be Too late, so let the fire take our bodies this night So late, so let the waters take our guilt in the t
Haha, I just heard it. You're right. It sounds kinda funny. A guitar effect, maybe?

Done to death and they're all supposed to be there.
Like I said in the last thread, at 4:48 in Bohemian Rhapsody Roger hit's the snare by accident.. Can any1 else hear this?

Priceless. I still lived at home when this album first came out and I always thought it was my mother calling my name to tell me to turn it down. A deliciously annoying sound!
