Yes.

Freq's of the las one go up on the end & beginning of the sample (If you make an SA you will see what i mean), those are the spikes I was talking about.

Seems the beginning and the end of the last sample are from an entirely different source and recording.

Actually, looking at the beginning of sample 1, this 1) clearly looks upsampled from 11025Hz sampling frequency (note the slight vertical mirroring), and 2) I suspect it was mp3 compressed before (note the blocky holes in the spectrum).

Relevant SA screenshot attached.
