It... MIGHT be lessened? Here's the thing, I'm not entirely sure that the warp is causing the woosh, I actually think it's the whoosh causing the warp... Or rather, the pressing defect has caused the warp to happen and unwarping it LIKELY won't really help the noise. I have a tiny tiny amount of that noise on mine in the same spots. It's a couple seconds, but it's there. And my copy is a little warped, but if I flatten it with my clamp, the noise is still there. Now I don't know how warped yours is so it might help? But I suspect just due to the sheer number of these copies that have that whooshing issue, and the fact that through my hundreds and hundreds and thousands of warped albums I've never had a single one that made a whooshing noise like this that was fixed by flattening, that it's likely not actually the movement of the needle that's causing it. But it can't hurt to GENTLY try to flatten it.
