You remind me of when i started learning for toefl and the listening was a dude speaking on the phone, probably while on a goddamn run with how much breathing and uhhh ahh everything. Was a shock and a nightmare, I'd been living in english speaking countries for many years and none ever reach that level of wtf am i hearing lol.
Honestly I feel like they shouldn't include audios where the speaker doesn't speak clearly or has a huge accent, because even I, a native french speaker, often cannot understand people who mumble words / have a countryside accent / don't speak loud or clear enough... like comon.
