Well, during my tests I in fact noticed some more or less silent distortions which may be caused by comfort noise generated by the mobile(?) (it's only from mobile -> local phone -
not vice versa). For me it sounds like a pretty silent steam engine.

I tested with amr and amr-wb in conjunction with transcoding (as I'm having no local phone supporting amr. Transcoding was between g722 or g711). Therefore I can't say for sure if
this distortion is a result of transcoding or not. I could here it with two different mobiles (iPhone and Huawei). After muting of the iPhone, the distortion mostly went away (no
change with the Huawei mobile).
