This means that the distortion in the signal is masked by more significant signals and your brain/ear can't tell the difference. The problem of distortion gets worse when you lower the encoding bitrate and this is where you will hear 'ringing' - often heard as a fluttery whistling sound. Otherwise MP3 and other CODECs are perfectly good at transmission and storage of audio signals.
