Making low-quality snippets

I found this somewhere. It’s a low quality version of a song.

Original quality:

I want to put another snippet after the static. What effect(s) might give me similar results? I’ve tried experimenting a bit but I don’t know what I’m doing yet.

Look at the frequency spectrum (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/plot_spectrum.html) of the low quality version, and notice how it rapidly rolls off above 3000 Hz. Use the “Filter Curve” effect (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/filter_curve.html) on the other snippet to achieve a similar frequency spectrum.

Thanks that worked!
