You have two different numbers you are intermixing.
The 16 bit file uses twice as much data to represent the
same wave file as the 8 bit file. The 11,025 is the sampling
frequency which means that the highest frequency you will
have in your file is 5,500+KHz. This is the top end of a good
telephone call bandwidth. Using 44.1 means your highest frequency
recorded is 22,000+ Hz. This is considered the lowest "high frequency"
for good audio. (It has been demonstrated that humans can perceive
frequencies much higher than the old 20,000 Hz, but that is a much
longer, deeper discussion for another day.)=20
