Male speaker identity survives when the voice fundamental is filtered out

Evidence

The STI measure considers only the intelligibility of speech. This has not been found to be an adequate analysis system for modern telecommunication systems, where the speech codecs may, in the worst case, for example, make the speaker unidentifiable, although the intelligibility of speech is good. To estimate other factors in transmitted speech, more advanced objective analysis methods have been developed. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 2437 (#expands, via linked claim)
