Noise added to file

Whenever I re-open or import a file on which I have been working for any significant length of time, a great deal of ambient noise is added to it. This is occurring now in "Build 24.2.0.83," but it has always happened with every version of the program I have ever used. Is there a solution?

I have found a work-around: To save the file under a new name every 5 or 10 minutes and then re-open it to see if the noise has been added and if so, to trash that file and open an earlier one, redoing the work done since it was saved. Pathetic!

What format are you saving your work in? Especially, what is the bit depth?

I'm saving the files in .wav format (Wave Uncompressed), 44100 Hz Mono, 8-bit.

Well as I suspected, that's the source of your noise! If you save a file as 8-bit, you've only got about 48dB of dynamic range available to you (think cheap cassette recorder). If you don't want noise like that, save your files as 16-bit.
