BLOG QUESTION: BIT RATES

How would you describe the differences between the bit rates? Why do each of them sound different from each other?

As the bit rate level decreases, the quality of the sound seems to decrease also. The audio starts to sound distorted and it contains a lot of white noise. This is because the audio becomes more compressed with a lower bit rate. The quality sounds different because the bit rate determines the amount of data being used. The higher the bit rate, the more data, and the more details and accuracy in the audio. This all leads to better sound quality.
