I streamed the original mix and the 2018 remix from Qobuz, put my ear up close to the right and left midrange cones for the last 30 seconds or so and I heard sheep, birds chirping and a sound like "wochk" in the right channel but no 4 note human voice.

So as we progress on our audiophile journey one of the greatest rewards is hearing something new in a recording that we've never heard before; at least it is for me.
I have heard Animals easily a hundred times since it's release.
This has to do with the Sheep track.
I placed a new to me preamp in the chain recently. In the last 20 seconds there is a ghost vocal that I had never heard. Originally it was 4 notes which were indistinguishable but clearly there.
Even more recently I upgraded my speakers from Von Schweikert VR4 Jrs to VS VR4 SRMKIII. Now those same notes, while still indistinguishable, have expanded to what seems to be a shepherd faintly directing the flock from a distance.
Has anyone else heard these? I know there are more resolving systems than mine by a wide margin so my question is does it become even more resolved to the point of being able to make out the words?
