Repair a file using Audacity?
Can someone please tell me what is wrong with the attached audio clip between 9 to 18 seconds. When I listen using my headphone/headset or laptop speakers, they sort of vibrate very rapidly/loudly (hard to describe) and ruins the whole experience.

Also it would be great if someone could tell be how to correct this using Audacity. I tried using deamplifying with clipping, low pass filter, and compression. Low pass filter gave some improvement on headset, but on the laptop it sounds the same as original.
Thanks.

It was recorded too loud and is clipping heavily. The top's been chopped off the waveform (see picture). The information above that 'brick wall' is lost. If there's just an occasional clipped peak, restoration software can sometimes make an intelligent guess at the lost information. But there isn't really a fix for this degree of distortion, particularly for 'acoustic' music like this. Re-record, and turn the input level down.
