Re: But don't we *want* to be able to measure what we hear?

Your equipment will only cut a deeper rut down the same path you've already been through a thousand times before. It's not the limitiations of the sensitivitty of your equipment, it's what you are measuring that keeps you from greater understanding. You will never correlate what you hear with what you measure until you find the elements you and everyone else have overlooked. That requires rethinking the entire problem from scratch and that means putting what you think you know aside. The problem with being too familiar with a problem because you've worked on it for so long is that your vantage point is fixed and it is very difficult to get a different perspective. You could survey the entire earth with a surveyer's tape and conclude that it is flat. If you can't do it yourself, get a young collegue who has enough training to understand the problem but not enough to have already been inculcated in the tunneled thinking of those already in the art. Otherwise you will bang your head against the same wall for the rest of your life. Believe me, it isn't going to budge.
