Hi Philipp,=0D
Welcome to the group. You will get more advanced opinion on this, but here'=
s my take. Firstly, I've only listened to this on my laptop, but I think it=
 allows me to comment. I think what I'm hearing is just background environm=
ental noise. You have a very 'quiet' recorder and mic, which are sensitive =
to very low level sounds, and you have come across the recordists dilemma/f=
rustration of background noise spoiling recordings! In the main today recor=
ding outdoors becomes a compromise between what's acceptable (to you) in te=
rms of background to subject sounds. The options again are a compromise. Yo=
u should get your mic/s as close as is possible to your subject, and then i=
f necessary, use an editing program such as the free Audacity, to edit out =
unwanted noise.=0D
Good luck with your endeavours=0D
