Corruption just means that a bit or several bits aren't what they
should be.  It could mean that something that's normally 3dB is now
3.5dB...or 90dB.  Typically it's more "brief white noise" like a pop or
crack, but technically it could be the whole range from totally
inaudible to blatantly obvious.

Nothing is immune to it, but having a checksum in all of your files
means you can know immediately when there's any corruption at all.  Not
having a checksum means you can't really ever be sure.

I suppose it's possible to have a tripwire-style external file checksum
system for your WAV files, but that's quite a lot of infrastructure and
maintenance on your part.
