I've read--sorry, no citations and no time to look them up--that tests have shown that even these "deep brain," preconscious aspects of hearing are influenced by cultural--well, influences (i.e., influence of certain brands, like Coke). This has led me to conclude that hearing is intrinsically subjective, or, to put it another way, sometimes you really do hear differences you think you hear; it's not in the sound, but you hear it. Is this wrong?
