Lets say I have WMA file that is monoaural and 44.1 khz and contains a

song to be recognizable to the ear of the average human who has
listened to the song before and knows the song?


This isn't really a question about bit-rate. It's about the minimum
information required to recognise a song.

You might find one bit sufficient.
