[QUOTE="Paul Johnson, post: 216511, member: 2643"] I doubt very much that you'll find any educational paper on this subject because it falls into psychoacoustics, where very odd things happen and science tries to use existing rules to form conclusions. It's similar to the study of tinnitus. Very clearly, tinnitus exists, but so far the best science just generalises as to what people hear. I have very mild tinnitus and using all the software and hardware I have, I cannot seem to produce what I am hearing, and I'd like think I have the necessary skills needed to describe what I hear? Sound is notoriously difficult to pigeon hole - and with age related upper limits, it's not even possible to generate a proper baseline for an individual's hearing. We can measure our sensitivity at different frequencies, but if somebody is hearing distortion, we have no way to tell, and what if the individual does not understand what distortion sounds like? My dear old mum used to complain a sound was "sharp" - we tried to work out what she meant, but we never did. She also said things vibrated - what did that mean? Keep in mind that most people can only just detect a 2dB increase or decrease in sound level. [/QUOTE]
