The Kino blu-ray has rather extreme noise reduction, to the point where ambient sounds (rustling, characters moving, etc.) have been obliterated and artefacts abound instead. This filtering has been done to the film in one automated (and arbitrary) stroke, which is apparent given how much the track otherwise visually resembles the earlier Universal DVD. The DVD is more natural sounding, but it too has a very rolled-off high end and extremely exaggerated bass frequencies. While the old MCA LD isn't objectively great (it's thin and still quite muffled), it sounds like the DVD and blu-ray but with less heavy-handed mastering.
