Studio noise/chatter at the beginning of 100,000 Years?

I have often felt that in the intro portion of 100,000 Years (from the first album) there is some barely-audible talking in the background. Anyone else ever "heard" this?

Yeah you can hear somebody talk or yell something right after the second bass line, approx 0:04. It’s buried deep in the background of the mix - was probably Peter isolated in the drum booth or an engineer in the control room.

I isolated this in an audio editor, and dramatically boosted the volume on it, and don't hear anyone say anything. The only think I hear is some string-scrape from Gene's fingers. Are we talking about the original studio version?

There's nothing but a string scrape
