What did Google have to say about it?

I'm sure it's compressed. There are only a handful of uncompressed formats. I think there's only two lossless compressed formats. All the rest sacrifice some quality to get smaller files.

You can install the FFMpeg software add-on and open up many different sound formats. Once inside Audacity, you can export to any supported format.

•Linear_16_BIT—signed 16-bit Linear PCM 8Khz
•Linear_8_BIT—unsigned 8-bit Linear PCM 8Khz
•Alaw—G.711 A-Law 8Khz
•MuLaw—G.711 mu-Law 8Khz
•8000 Hz, 16-bit mono, WAV format

For all those, change the project rate bottom left to 8000 Hz. Then choose Other Uncompressed Files in the Export dialogue, then click "Options...".

You can also obtain 16-bit WAV by choosing "WAV (Microsoft) signed 16 bit PCM" instead of "Other Uncompressed Files".
