Thanks for posting the wikipedia page with the recording. It brought back memories!
Yes, it is certainly difficult to understand the sound. However, all these years later, the same could be said of remote video connections in which speech is sometimes replaced with undecipherable squeaks and echos.
I'm surprised that zoom et al. have not developed a scheme to show text during these squeaking times. After all, any meeting has people and computers that could detect a temporary problem, mandating a temporary switch to a dictation mode.
