In the end of The Wind Chimes Part II, exactly at 21:37,
it sounds like someone's breathing out.Perhaps Mike after a long hard recording session.

Have someone here
heard it too?

Nope. I think it's the click of a tape being stopped. This was accidentally picked up by the microphones

See Sir Mustapha's thread on this forum about it

Sir Mustapha's topic, if you care to read it, is here.

It doesn't sound like a tape machine being stopped to me, that would be quite a clunky sound (analogue 24 tracks are quite hefty beasts), this is more of a hollow pop. It's almost like something being dropped...whatever it is has a fair bit of reverb on it.

What really caught my attention about that noise was the reverb, actually. That's why I found it so curious.
