In Reply to: I get the point just fine...You can't seem to grasp the fact that there exists a threshold of audibility posted by kuribo on November 14, 2015 at 14:21:26:
The ear is so finely tuned that it can pick them out easily. It does not matter that they might be at a low level- the ones of concern occur in the frequency bands to which the ear is the most sensitive, and in addition it uses those harmonics to calculate volume. Its more sensitive to them than it is the fundamental tones that made them!
You don't seem to understand how the ear works in this regard. Its not like an amp is on the bench where the less volume the less distortion.

- Actually I do get that but when it comes to higher ordered harmonics - Ralph 08:29:39 11/16/15 (27)
- What about "threshold of audibility" can't you understand? The ear CAN'T pick ANYTHING out that's ( T.A. - kuribo 13:03:14 11/16/15 (26)
- That is actually a different topic and phenomena and I have no problem with it. - Ralph 13:25:17 11/16/15 (25)
- Different? How so? You said 7th harmonic matters....I said not if it's inaudible... - kuribo 13:46:11 11/16/15 (23)
- The point is that the 7th is rarely inaudible. - Ralph 14:15:27 11/16/15 (15)
