While the actual analog sounds may indeed have a higher signal to noise ratio than 96db, most ADCs haven't, i.e. for most digital recordings 16bit should be more than enough.

Since audio is usually sampled around 44 kHz, which is slow by signal processing standards, most ADCs can exceed 16 bits by supersampling and averaging the results.
