Thinking out Loud "creepy" sound explained

Yesterday(15 May 2015) i have chat with my friends about Thinking out Loud song by Ed Sheeran, he says that it has "creepy" sound in it and he says that the news has been spreading in the world, specially in Indonesia (i think). I don't think that there's a "creepy" sound in it, so solve this "mystery"

First, i load up FL Studio and WaveCandy plugin in Master track, also loaded preset "Wine" with disabled "Blur Behind"(because i use Windows 8). Also extending the width of the Visualizer

Then i load Thinking out Loud song in Playlist as Audio Clip by dragging the file from File Explore to FL Studio 12 Playlist

My friend says that the "creepy" sound is right after Ed Sheeran says "baby my heart" so i'm listening the song and i reach it, i send this sound sample to my friend first.
My friend then respond to the sample that i send and he says "yes, that's it, i can hear it", i try to increase my speaker's volume, try to find where is the sound, and i hear something weird.
It's very likely that his(Ed Sheeran) sound looks weird while he's sliding his sound, then i upload one more sample again to my friend.


Then i see spectrum and this image is generated when i play the song(lyric: "Baby my, heart")
I mark the "creepy" sound in blue in picture above.

That's it, so i hear it again and again and i can sure that it's just Ed Sheeran voice sound weird after he says "Heart".

Summary: It's just his sound that sound weird for us, my friend also says "And there's nothing wrong in the recording he says". So the "creepy" in this post is just his voice sliding and sound weird.

That's my opinion about this, your opinion might be different
