Adjust your expectations to telephone quality. Everything is based
around 8khz samples and at best around 14 bit quality. The GSM files
should be around cell phone quality due to the codec. You are welcome to
rerecord any sound prompts you wish and use them at a slightly higher
quality but 8khz 16bit PCM is the highest quality you can use.
