to which the amplitude value can be quantized when it's converted from continuous to discrete: 65,536 steps for 16-bit audio,
a whopping 16,777,216 steps for 24-bit audio. Because quantizing involves rounding off the continuous value to a discrete
value, the sampling process introduces noise. The higher the bit depth, the smaller this quantization noise. In practice,

the quantization noise of 16-bit audio is already small enough to be audible, and using higher bit depths is generally
not necessary.

You may also come across 32-bit audio. This stores the samples as floating-point values, whereas 16-bit and 24-bit audio
