hey, author here

Thanks for the feedback.

"the reconstructed audio sounded terrible" - I think this is referring to the amount of static noise in the reconstructed waveform. Indeed, the SNR clearly shows the reconstruction is slightly worse than the downsampled waveform. As mentioned in the post, I strongly believe this is due to the limited amount of training I performed. The number of epochs of training data in my case was only 10 while the paper this project is based on trained for 400 epochs. During training I noticed a strong dependence on training epochs and perceptual performance.
