The upper audible range for telephonic conversations could be around 2k- 6kHz, while for a FM quality transmission it could be likely around 12k - 15kHz (The upper limits, of course) If a DSP is available, a filter that runs around those lines could determine the lines drawn between the actual audio data and white noise, probably.
