Soundcloud will encode to their own standard, which I think is
128kbps. They even have this disclaimer:
"Sometimes our transcoding system can create audio artifacts, as we
transcode all tracks to 128 kbps mp3 for streaming playback. Uploading
a lossless or high-quality lossy file will usually reduce these to a
minimum, but unfortunately there's not much we can do for the handful
of individual tracks that are still affected."
