      What are the settings of your WAV file? That is, what is its frequency, channels, and bits? Is it a compressed WAV?

          Indeed, wave files can even contain mp3 audio...

              LOL! That original wav file must be a compressed wav file (if it's voice it pretty much is sure to be compressed), so if you need to convert it to mp3 for any reason, make sure the settings are not higher than what the wav has originally, or it will result in a proportionaltey larger file (bitrate and channels influence that, not so much the frequency).

                  a voice recording... it was probably using gsm 6 or the truspeach codec (prolly spelled that wrong), both of those run around ~3kbps (that is a guess)... so yea, a 48kbps mp3 would be much bigger

                  the lowest mp3 goes is 8kbps
