These errors are termed artifacts (or sound/sonic artifacts), and may be pleasing or displeasing. A sonic artifact is sometimes a type of digital artifact , and in some cases is the result of data compression (not to be confused with dynamic range compression , which also may create sonic artifacts).
Gapless playback is the uninterrupted playback of consecutive audio tracks, such that relative time distances in the original audio source are preserved over track boundaries on playback. For this to be useful, other artifacts (than timing-related ones) at track boundaries should not be severed either.
When recording through an audio interface, insufficient computer performance or audio driver issues can cause clicks, pops and dropouts. They can result from improper clock sources [3] and buffer size. Also, clicks can be caused by electric devices near the computer or by faulty audio or mains cables. [4]
Anti-aliasing means removing signal components that have a higher frequency than is able to be properly resolved by the recording (or sampling) device. This removal is done before (re)sampling at a lower resolution. When sampling is performed without removing this part of the signal, it causes undesirable artifacts such as black-and-white noise.
A compression artifact (or artefact) is a noticeable distortion of media (including images, audio, and video) caused by the application of lossy compression. Lossy data compression involves discarding some of the media's data so that it becomes small enough to be stored within the desired disk space or transmitted ( streamed ) within the ...

Silence can be defined as audio segments with negligible sound. Examples of silence are pauses between words or sentences in speech and pauses between notes in music. By compressing the silent intervals, the audio files become smaller and easier to handle, store, and send while still retaining the original sound quality.
