When you talk on a cellphone the codec AMR-WB nominally captures 50 Hz - 7000 Hz. However that's only on the optional highest bitrate 23.85 Kbps. The most common bitrate 12.65 Kbps only goes up to 6400 Hz and synthesizes 6400 - 7000 Hz from lower frequencies and noise as it sounds better than not having the noise!

This sent me down a very interesting rabbit hole, thanks!
