Weird pause in looping sounds?

I recently have come across a very annoying thing that I am not sure if it is me or roblox.

I have a 16 second audio clip on loop and every time it ends there is a brief pause before it begins again? Is this something I can fix or at least mitigate it as it sounds awful!

Here is what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUcs7Uw1uAU

try to lower the volume near the end and up the volume at the start, that wouldn’t sound like there is any pause.

If I remember correctly, you should be able to fix this by converting the sound to an ogg instead of an MP3, if you’re certain it’s not a gap at the start or end of the audio itself.

Interesting… do you know why that is?

Could this just be an issue with the audio clip itself, maybe it has a pause in the track itself?

It’s a consequence of the lossy compression which the mp3 format uses. The correct solution here is, as has been said, to use a format that supports gapless playback such as ogg.

Perhaps a bit late, but I’m having the same issue and this does actually make the pause between my audio shorter, but not disappear entirely.
