Well, the parabola itself would also boost the higher harmonics. 
However, that effect should apply to the entire recording. As far as I 
can see from the spectrogram, the unnatural distortion is only present 
at a few loud moments.

Please note that I meant the relatively minor unusual effects in the 
original .wav file section and not the more intense effects that occur 
at the output of the cheap CD player.
