The biggest problem I found was modulation noise - that the tape
vibrated against the head.
You got a fairly low frequent noise, or hiss, around every sound,
many times people blamed the Dolby for it and called it "Dolby-pump".
Some birds were impossible: A pure whistle could sound like the tone
from a flute + the sound from the flute players lips.
