The characteristic difference between a phase modulator and a frequency modulator is:
pre-emphasis
True FM has deviation proportional to modulating signal amplitude. True PM has phase deviation proportional to amplitude. To make PM sound like FM, the audio is integrated before phase modulation OR the audio is pre-emphasized (high frequencies boosted) before phase modulation to achieve an FM-like characteristic after differentiation in the receiver.
