Does anyone hear a high pitched noise while listening to Def Leppard's 'Rocket'?

I've listened to it on tons of different formats and hear it everytime. It's really quiet but there. I have never heard it in the background during any other song.

    I do...it's in the chorus. I was once told that when CD's are mastered, sometimes high frequencies that reach above the fidelity of the CD are sometimes condensed and come out a high pitched squeal. You'll only hear it on the CD...I don't think YouTube's compression allows that high a frequency. It sounds like the ringing in your ears. You're not alone. The Beatles have this same high frequency at the end of A Day In The Life (but they put it there on purpose to mess with your dog).
