Demagnetizing works, and is audible, but the heads would have to be magnetized in the first place to notice a difference. Many decks have seen little use and aren't significantly affected.

It's most noticeable with record heads vs playback heads, so if you are not going through the entire bias/record/playback cycle, you may not notice it as much with just playback only.
