Interestingly, though, if psychoacoustic compression was used in when reuploading a video, that 3000-6000Hz range might actually be restored—it’s less information if it’s there than if it’s not.

Similarly, if the video is heard through a phone line, the call might be using a symbolic voice codec, which would also restore the range (in the sense that it’s not even storing sound, just phonemes.)
