Yes, the AK5720 contains a built-in anti-aliasing filter with a good 
steep response, so that should have taken care of band-limiting the 
audio before sampling.  Therefore it's likely that the aliasing seen in 
the example audio files is either:

1. Jitter in saw reset signals produced by the STM32 micro as Vladimir 
Pantelic wrote,

...or...

2. The result of some kind of poor quality sample-rate conversion 
process that was applied during the preparation of the online audio 
clips!

-Richie,
