I just finished a 6SN7 SRPP preamp. My question is: What is the cause of a soft whispery, rustling leaves, wind in the trees sound?
I have not heard it before. Ideas appreciated.
Thank you.

Is living I the copy also possess the same appearance on MATTSSE Preamp , I also want to realize the reason .It is one kind of very slight ' Si ' voice ? 
Could it be that it picks up radio signals ? Please post a schematic, it'll make things probably clearer.
Hmmm... I think I've heard that before in Frankenhouse... lemme see if I can find the faulty 6U8 that did it...
That one's not it... although the triode section is missing the heater... I wonder how the heck that one got past QC! 😱
Ah, here it is! Lemme get out the mic...
Damn! Now it doesn't want to do it... argh...
Hey, it's working now! I'll try editing the sound bite a bit and see what I can do...

Hello ,
This could be due to internal leakage or heater to cathode insulation . Are you using the same tube for both voltage amp and SRPP load ? If so it may be advisable either to float the heater at half B+ or to use separate tubes : one for voltage amp (heaters ref'd to 0V), one for SRPP (heaters ref'd to half B+) . Some tubes are better than others with regards to internal leakage , you could always try other tubes which may be a quick fix . Hope this helps 🙂

Hi,
I accidently caused a short on the 317t that supplies 2.78 volts to 2 3a5 filaments, the short was due to a solder blob. I was bypassing the adj resistor to improve the performance of the reg. Unfortunatley I onlty noticed I had done this when the tubes were glowing bright red.....
I have fixed the problem, but I am now getting a rustling sound. I have checked joints etc, could it be that the tubes are now damaged, as they worked fine before the short........
Thanks
