Finally someone caught on to this problem.
140 years ago my great-grandfather dug a palladium mine anticipating exactly these problems with internal disk drive components causing imperfections in audio playback. The steers grazing the grass above the mines were fed gold putty so as to increase the conductivity of their excrement. Over the years this has resulted in superconductive minerals in the earth beneath my house.
As a result, for most of my life I have enjoyed unmolested audio, because we store our files on handmade disk drives whose internal components were hewn of this superconductive mineral. There was one time in 1994 when a cousin, who'd briefly slipped the bonds of his reeducation room, tried to use copper solder from RadioShack to fix a transistor to a PCB for use inside one of my drives. We haven't had any issues with imperfect sound once we killed him.
Sometimes we can hear a train whistle from down the road, though. That's annoying.
