Maybe you should try increasing the gain.
Final command line was this:
rtl_fm -l 0 -f 99.5e6 -N -s 170e3 -o 4 -A -r 24e3 - | \
aplay -r 24k -f S16_LE -t raw -c 1
Really, much smarter to use -W instead. You are losing a moderate
amount of the signal. First, wbfm is slightly off center pushing 10%
of the signal out of range. Second, it carries audio information up
to 16kHz and resampling at 24ks/s discards another 25%.
rtl_fm -W -f 99.5e6 -g 49 | aplay -r 32k -f S16_LE -t raw -c 1
will work better. No reason to spell it out the long way.
