Perry - S3-E5

Audio problem: After Perry explains that the information he has on Lionel is with "multiple attorneys with 'in the event of my death' instructions" Perry tells Lex that the information is "all yours".

Delete - S3-E11

Velocity - S3-E13

Audio problem: Towards the end of Lex telling Clark about his car, that it was stolen and returned, Lex says "Often that can be the test of a true friendship." After Lex's line the camera switches to show a reaction shot of Clark. In that shot, just before it switches back to Lex, you see Lex's mouth move as if he is saying something but there are no words heard.

Forsaken (1) - S3-E21

Audio problem: After Clark asks Lana to have dinner with him, and she says it's not such a good idea, the camera shot changes so that Lana is on the right side of the shot. In that shot Lana's mouth is moving like she is talking to Clark only you don't hear what she is saying.

Covenant (2) - S3-E22

Audio problem: After Clark tells Lex why he didn't tell him that Lex's father killed his parents Clark finishes his line by saying "...I couldn't live with that." The camera jumps to Clark's right and you can see he says "I couldn't live with that" again only no sound is heard.

Audio problem: When Clark talks with Lex in the house where he found the two dead bodies,just after Lex finished his phone call, Clark says to Lex, "You looked at me straight in the eyes and told me she was dead," and then the shot changes to Lex.

Spell - S4-E8

Audio problem: In the scene where Jason and Isabelle/Lana are talking and he is about to burn the book with the lighter, she quickly grabs the book with her magic. Isabelle then says some sort of spell flinging Jason against the wall to the right. In the shot where you see him thrown against the wall, Isabelle has already said the spell, but you can see her mouth moving saying the same thing (though nothing is heard).

Pariah - S4-E12

Audio problem: Clark is upset over the death of Alicia and is in the barn loft bouncing a ball off the wall. His parents come up and Jonathan sits next to him and tells him that what happened was not Clark's fault. The very next shot shows Martha sitting down and you hear Clark throw the ball again but you can see that his hands never make and motion to correspond with that action.

Vessel - S5-E22

Audio problem: At the beginning, you hear the horses braying and the dog barking, but you can tell none of the animals are making those sounds. The sounds were added in afterwards.

Whisper - S3-E10

Question: In the episode, 'Whisper', there is a character that makes a very high pitched feedback like noise. Is this a character that was in the old comics and can anyone tell me how this guy does that noise?

Answer: No, there is no such character in the comics. He's a "meteor-freak" like all the other baddies on the show. The sound has something to do with him vibrating his vocal cords very fast to create a high-pitched squeal.
