some .wav files have pre-defined root keys and bpms?

two part question:

1. when i put some one-shot drum sounds into drum racks, some of them have pre-defined rootkeys that aren't C3. they are part of a drum kit but i was drag-dropping the .wav files individually so any kind of group setting shouldn't affect a single file by itself.

2. sometimes when i load a .wav into an audio clip, it has a pre-defined BPM. when i click warp, it doesn't match the global BPM.

do both these things have something to do with live, or are the parameters able to be embedded straight into a .wav file?
