Ground Zero - S4-E6

Audio problem: When Greene is outside by the river explaining what happened to him, there are a couple of really bad sound edits in the background noise. These are really obvious as the sound suddenly changes, and for some reason the background noise in this scene is very loud, almost as loud as the dialogue; very strange.

Totally Spaced Out / The Switch Glitch - S2-E8

Audio problem: In Fairly Odd Parents, "Switch Glitch", Vicky forced Timmy to do her chores and homework, and stretched a dress on Timmy. He said "I can't do chores in a dress.". Vicky, however, was recording Timmy's voice on a tape, the "in a dress" part, and played the tape, but the tone of voice for "in a dress." was normal, not angry. Shouldn't it be the same?
