I agree with the comment above. I have not logged into hacker news in _years_ but did so today just to weigh in here. If people are saying that the audio sounds great, then there is definitely something going on with a subset of users where we are only hearing garbled words with a LOT of distortion. This does not sound like natural speech to met at all. It sounds more like a warped cassette tape. And I do not mean to slight your work at all. I am actually incredibly puzzled here to understand why my perception of this is so radically different from others!
