Strictly evidence-based explanation of the determination, explanation should be in markdown format with bullet points only
- The audio is a technically flawless field recording, exhibiting exceptional clarity and fidelity.
- There is a complete absence of any technical artifacts such as microphone hiss, electrical hum, clipping, or compression noise. The signal-to-noise ratio is outstanding.
- Each element of the soundscape, from the prominent bird calls in the foreground to the more distant ambient sounds, is rendered with pristine sharpness and detail.
- The recording achieves a perfect sense of naturalness and immersion, effectively transporting the listener to the environment. This represents the highest level of quality for this type of audio content.
- The audio quality aligns perfectly with the definition of a 1.0 score: "exceptional, exhibiting flawless clarity" and representing "professional excellence."

What to do If you get Undesired Results

If the audio quality score is lower than expected:
  • Check for background noise or interference in the recording
  • Verify the recording environment is appropriate (e.g., proper acoustic treatment)
  • Ensure the microphone or recording device is of sufficient quality
  • Consider using noise reduction techniques in post-processing
  • Check for issues like clipping, distortion, or compression artifacts
  • Verify the audio file format and bitrate are appropriate for the intended use
  • Re-record in a more controlled environment if possible
