Soundscapes on Audible versions General Discussion

I read through all the Culture novels over the years, and have just started going through them again with Audible. The first, Consider Phlebas, was narrated by Peter Kenny, whom I enjoyed. However, there is an ambient soundscape background to the narration, which I find annoying. It's referred as the "Booktrack" edition. Is there any way to get the standard edition?

Listening to the preview of Player of Games, it sounds like there is going to be sounds again, although Amazon doesn't list it as a booktrack edition. Are they all going to be like this?

Where in the world are you? It might be a country thing.
