I don't have perfect pitch, but I have "pretty good" pitch. For example, I can tune in a RTTY signal without any tuning aids.
As a high speed CW guy, I once experimented with various base frequencies to see if it affected my upper speed limit. My hypothesis was since square waves are odd harmonic multiples, perhaps I could push up the speed where dits started to blend together by using a lower frequency. This would allow me to hear the 7th, 9th, 11th, etc. harmonics better and put a sharper edge on the waveform. It didn't work. Personally, I prefer in the 550-600 Hz range. When I was a kid, I used to listen to 750 Hz or so.
