I am in the process (and have been for two years) of converting my CDs to digital files; I usually play them as MP3s or AACs from my smartphone (in the car, on vacation, etc.). So far, I have not noticed any such things. (Knock on wood.)

Using EAC under Windows or XLD under Mac OS should prevent such glitches. They both work with correct drive offsets and secure mode, and with the Accurate Rip database.
If THESE two programs cannot guarantee perfect, secure rips, then you might wanna through the drive out.

iTunes is not a good tool if you want to rip your CDs once-and-for-all. It doesn't have the checks built in that XLD for Mac OS does, which rips more slowly, but is just as reliable as EAC under Windows. There is no alternative to get a perfect rip than to use the secure modes of these programs. iTunes is crap (it's also crap in about a hundred other ways, e.g. the mp3 conversion ripping is THE WORST of all!).
I don't understand why you don't go "the extra inches" towards using XLD. It's free, too, and there are manuals on the web how to set it up to make perfect rips.
If you can't do it with XLD, then either the drive or the individual discs are faulty.

I've been having similar problems ripping CD's onto ITunes, though the static usually goes away after ripping a disc a second time. I started using error correction after I kept getting that static trying to rip a CD of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. What further makes the above statement even more true is that whenever I rip CD's elsewhere I don't get any of that static. I must admit this is quite baffling.

Well mainly wont use XLD because doing it on a PC(smile).
Seriously its the convenience of ripping directly into iTunes into AIFF format. Why do I want AIFF format? Works best of high quality formats with Itunes Match. Trying to avoid multiple steps of ripping, format converting(which with high grade formats doesnt seem to work fully right iTunes), importing into iTunes, and then turning on iTunes match.
Its the number of steps though one could argue with the amount of time Ive spent discussing it I should just bite the bullet.
