About 1,613 additional emergency/dispatch recordings were released to the public on August 16, 2006, after the FOIL court battle (NY Times + some 9/11 families vs. New York City). Most of those did not have voices beeped out.⁠-s4.npr
That batch was mostly communications among firefighters, FDNY dispatchers, and EMS dispatchers. Because they involved government employees, both sides of those conversations were released. The tapes include the voices of at least 19 firefighters and 2 EMTs who died that day.⁠NPR
What was still redacted
The New York Court of Appeals had ruled that civilian 911 callers had a privacy interest, so their voices were generally removed or beeped from the public versions (families of identified deceased callers could get unredacted copies privately).

The August 2006 release also included 10 additional civilian 911 calls from inside the towers. Those civilian voices were redacted, except roughly the first 4 minutes of Melissa Doi’s call from the 83rd floor of the South Tower. That excerpt had already been played in the Zacarias Moussaoui trial, so it was released with her voice. The rest of her longer call has only the dispatcher.⁠NYTimes

Earlier related release
In March 2006 the city had released ~130 civilian 911 calls from people inside the towers. Those public versions had civilian voices stripped; only operators/dispatchers were heard.⁠NYTimes
Numbers vary slightly across contemporaneous reports (1,613 in the NPR piece and many others; some say 1,631 or “more than 1,600”). A smaller additional set of NYPD-related calls came out in 2007, again mostly with civilian voices redacted. The August 2006 dump is the large post-court-battle public release the linked article describes.
