Interesting artifact — can you identify?

There is this strange sound that kind of reminds me of wet snow being handled. Anyone know what it is?

I'm thinking it might be Amplitube doing it. Used a Fishman pickup on a acoustic, running it through Amplitube 2 and using Reaper compression. Exported it to a Ogg Vorbis before sending it to a guy handling it in FCP. I haven't got the original file, so I'm not sure if it caught the sound before or after importing it to FCP. The sound isn't there in Reaper.

Strange, no?

Try sending the editor an Ogg FLAC instead, but I don't understand what you mean when you say you don't have the original file, otherwise how would you have sent it and have processed it in the first-person...

You're not reading this right.

I just want to know what it is. It's not on the other Vorbis-files I've exported from the same project, but it really doesn't sound like something that has happened outside of the VST.

I don't have the file, because it was meant as a test, and not as final work. I mean, it exists, but not at my computer.

The point is identifying the artifact. It most likely has nothing to do with Vorbis. To me it seems probable that it occured in FCP or in Amplitube, before I did some minute tweak that removed it. The thing is, though, that I haven't been able to reproduce it.
