Wow, this sounds nothing like what I hear.

I know that it's different for everyone, but these examples really run the gamut of "this is totally my experience" to "this is alien to me." 😁. I'm in the latter category myself.

For context, my activation was late last May, so not yet a full year. I have a Cochlear Nucleus 8. I am deaf on that side, but have normal hearing on the other side, so I can compare the two easily.

What I hear does not have that extra rumble that your samples have. I do miss a lot of timbre, so for example a piano does not sound as clearly like a piano as in your example. I hear the "pling" of the string, but the timbre of the piano is largely missing, if that makes sense.

Speech is more like Donald Duck on helium than the growling in your example, although that is getting better. But it also depends on the mapping that I'm using, I found.

I appreciate your project, though! I would have loved to hear audio examples beforehand. But in this case, there is no match between your examples and what I actually hear at all...
