Problems in AM Demodulation

Hello everyone. I am working on Amplitude demodulation. I am using the
attached python code. I have some doubts as to why particular
frequencies
are chosen. Firstly, in the code

channel_coeffs = gr.firdes.low_pass (1.0, if_rate, 8000, 1000,
gr.firdes.WIN_HANN)

Why a cut off frequency of 8000Hz is chosen?

Any Particular reason why a transition bandwidth of 1000Hz is chosen?

Secondly,

volumecontrol = gr.multiply_const_ff(.003)

Why are we multiplying by a factor of 0.003?

Thirdly,

*audio_coeffs = gr.firdes.low_pass (1.0, demod_rate, 9e3, 4e3,

gr.firdes.WIN_HANN)*

Why a cut off frequency of 9000Hz is chosen?

Any Particular reason why a transition bandwidth of 4000Hz is chosen?

Thanks in advanceā€¦
