Default AM electromagnetic waves: 20 KHz modulation frequency on an astronomically-lowcarrier frequency

You are hearing the effects of the sidebands, not the Carrier.

DUH! And, you only have the sidebands as a result of the
carrier/modulation ...

In a properly designed transmitter the Carrier amplitude does not change
with modulation. I have better tools than FM receivers to prove that fact
and theory agree for AM.

And the time to argue the insignificant ... sharpen that razor blade,
you can then successfully split much narrower hairs ...
