Random Static White Noise in track upon Rekordbox USB export

Hi! I'm encountering a strange issue where tracks become littered with random white noise for brief half second intervals randomly. I confirmed that this is not an issue with my CDJs, I can actually see a very obvious different in the waveforms for the same track on both my USB and my hard drive before exporting, and there is a clear difference on the waveform visually where the static noise happens. I saw an old unsolved thread from 2015: https://forums.pioneerdj.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/205860475-white-noise . I'm hoping that this is just a symptom of me needing to get a new USB, but wanted to raise this thread in case others were running into this issue as it seems quite rare. I've included a link to the reddit post where you can see the visual difference between the waveforms. I am on an M2 Mac on Sequoia 15.1, and my rekordbox version is 6.8.5: https://www.reddit.com/r/DJs/s/n7NlpyPPRh
