Are you positive that the speaker voice coil is not rubbing slightly on the magnet?

I would also try a larger value for C-9 for a more mellow tone... perhaps experiment with different values for the most pleasing sound. A "voice/music" switch, with 2 different caps might be fun to incorporate.

What station is that on 620? Many talk/sports stations are over-processed for AM broadcast these days to overcome interference... they don't sound very good, but they can be heard better in fringe/noisy locations.

A few AM stations around here went from all talk, back to playing music. The music always seems to be distorted because of the over-processing.
