Hi, There are at least two different categories of degradation you can add to your signal, one is typical in the "continuous/analog" world, such as comb effects, echoes, undesired dynamic compressions, attenuation in bands around 4kHz (important for voice), harmonic distortion, etc, and the other is typically "digital generated", as artifacts generated by MP3 compression at lower bitrates, very harsh to listen to. For the first one you can use for example audio effects/editing software, which offer several possibilities, and for the second one, you can pass your signal through a mp3 encoding-decoding chain. Matlab/Simulink has some sources of noise that could be useful also. Hope these ideas are useful.
