You are quite correct to be suspicious, but fear not. The software I am referring to allows me to take a sample of the offending noise from a section of the sound file where the noise occurs alone -- in other words, where the track is otherwise silent except for the buzz. As long as the buzz is relatively constant the software can then analyze the sound and surgically remove it from the file without affecting the rest of the frequency balance. I have used it to remove some persistent 60hz hum from the background of some tracks I have created with excellent results. I'll send you a before/after compare file as soon as I am able.
