Hello, I don't know why but sometimes I can hear that annoying "cruchy" sound in my guitar, and sometimes I can hear it much less. What can cause the problem?

Hmm, sounds like you have some distortion in your clip. Try cleaning it up with a lower gain setting because it sounds like the sound is distorting a bit.
Also you could try to roll back your volume to remove the crunch.

But really, it just sounds like something is out of tune maybe, can't really say anything else about it.
Is there any possibility to be a problem with the neck relief?

Here I play a riff in E standard and then in dropped-D tuning. It seems in the dropped-D that the notes are a little bit flat.

Sounds like you are using a guitar that has a floating bridge. When you drop the low string on a floating guitar, the rest of the strings go out of tune.

The "crunch" sound I hear just comes from the way the amp (or sim, or whatever you're running through) is dialed in, or it's possibly just the way the amp/sim is voiced.
Also, the guitar is way out of tune man. It sounds like you might need a setup, and you could benefit from some heavier strings (to give things a bit more tension). You can hear the guitar going out of tune as you're playing it.

Yes that's the problem dude. When I drop tuning the guitar with the light strings you can hear them go out of tune, even if the guitar is perfectly tuned. I'll try heavier strings when I have the time.
Is 11-52 good from drop-d tuning?

Don't even think about keeping the same strings when you change your tuning ! There is just no way it can sound good. Your guitar might need some setup yeah, it's damn out of tune. Are you really-really sure it's in tune before you play ? As in not just "I tune each string once with my tuner to have the needle more or less in the middle of the tuner's screen" ?

Why not keeping the same strings when changing the tuning?
The action is high, that's how I like it and the neck relief is decent.
Yeah the guitar was perfectly in tune, every single string.

Yeah, that's weird. When I tune it to E standard it doesn't sound out of tune.
I will try heavier gauge strings when I can.
