The sound engineer, Geoff Emerick, had all the faders up to make the piano notes last as long as possible and the microphones were so hot it picked up the sound as he moved his foot. He also says you can hear the swoosh of the air conditioning since the volume on the mics and sound board were to the maximum. And if you listen very carefully, he says you can hear their roadie, Mel Evans counting off the 24 bars in the middle where Paul sings. (His vocal was dubbed in much later since they didn't know what to do with this section)The alarm clock is the beginning of the 24 bars. When they recorded the orchestra buildup in this song, Mel had decorated the studio with balloons to lighten up the "stuffy" musicians. (He also gave them red rubber noses to wear) According to Geoff you can hear a couple of balloon pops during this section.
