Many voices are like finger-nails on a chalkboard, so has anyone found good ole classic audiobooks that are wonderful to listen to, and Android is what I need. I don't know if my old Kindle would support my bluetooth speaker very well, but my phone works great with bluetooth. I also have tinnitus so I have to be able to turn up the sound as needed to drown out ringing in my ears.
Thanks, really hoping for some help here, free apps only please. If I have to pay for every book, may as well pay Kindle Unlimited but I'd really like to ditch that.

I'm pretty sure that public domain laws are sketchy in this area. New recording is fully protected by copyright laws, no matter the condition of the source material.
Regardless, Archive.org has a big collection. Check them out when they are fully back. I tend to avoid librivox, even though they have librivox recordings up there as well. Another poorly documented and organised archive that they have are their radio stations. They have full BBC Radio 4 Extra, for example. There's a ton of fantastic radio plays and book adaptations up there. They're spanning decades back, with some shows flawlessly acted.
A few favourites:
1985 Raffles:
