That noise is a symptom of something wrong. It should not be there. Without understanding the root cause it is impossible to say whether there is a sonic problem. I have transferred a bunch of old master tapes and it's been my usual experience that ones with funny noise peaks on them don't sound as good as clean ones. Usually, filtering out the noise peaks makes things somewhat better. But the best recordings don't start out or gain these unwanted artifacts.
