You're right, how foolish of me to base my opinions on facts... -William In a message dated 11/11/2010 12:56:27 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
It´s theory that humans are able to hear pitches up to 20.000 Hz, but very few do it. Just feeling it or just noticing it is not enough. I talked about distinguishing a certain pitch. That makes the difference. And, aren´t there surveys about hearing abilities in our societies ? Didn´t they come out telling us, that the hearing abilities not only of the elderly are fading out, but also of the younger & the very young generations as being exposed to the acoustical pollution or self imposed extreme noise high & sublow with high amplitudes ??? Please, William, do not start another war of words, as we do not disagree on the matter, but we view it from different standpoints only. You go for the mere facts, perhaps, while I go for the qualities of the hearing sense, perhaps. ################################################################### Am 11.11.2010 um 18:32 schrieb [email protected]: > It's not theory.
