Err… WWVB has no audio range. The carrier frequency is only 60 kHz. It’s effectively a CW signal since the amplitude is only modulated once per second.

There’s a voice mode station that mixes time signals and voice messages together during broadcast. This station also includes GPS errata from time to time, which in my head canon, are received by solo sailors crossing the Atlantic.

I thought this was Boulder, but I assume not?

That's WWV, also in Fort Collins, but on a very different frequency in the shortwave band.

There is an audible setting in the app that shifts the signal down to human range.
