What are these blips in recordings made with Olympus LS-12? (1 Viewer)

I've made some recordings with an Olympus LS-12. I'm getting repetitive blips in the recordings (sharp, sudden cracking noise), which are showing in the sonagram below as dark lines covering all frequencies. Anybody know what's causing this problem and how I can get rid?

Hi,
a bit hard to tell, but I am guessing that the traffic/wind at low frequencies showing as a back line is too loud. If the sound saturates it created lines that cover all frequencies. Try lower gain. You can filter out low frequencies either when recording or postprocessing. Saturated sound is not recoverable.
