Re: Question of Pitch Perception

I’ve not done any research into this, but I do know that my hearing system can tell me that very low notes can actually sound very out of tune, so much so that an ascending chromatic scale can actually sound in the wrong order, to me anyway.

In fact, I once thought I had a weird frequency fault ...

Re: Question of Pitch Perception

I suffer from a small amount of tinnitus. Drumline, bands, loud concerts, and mixing- the tinnitus got real bad for a few years. It has improved as a I curbed drinking alcohol, lost some weight, and lived a more active lifestyle- and what I assume is just luck and time, because of the type of ...

Re: Question of Pitch Perception

I’m going a little off-topic here, but I wanted to tell you about an experiment I did in my twenties:

I had a cold type of infection and had a persistent whistling in my ears. I was curious to see what the pitch of this was and we had signal generators and headphones in the lab. As I approached ...

Chromatic notes sound out of order, yeah that ...

Re: Question of Pitch Perception

Wonder if we perceive <20Hz and subsonics through resonance in the skull/bones and such? As higher resonance... but the mind/perception filters it somehow...

And in a band context as Martin mentioned... Maybe also percieve very low "off notes" by instead noticing some sort of secondary standing ...

Re: Question of Pitch Perception

Yeah trog that's what I'm imagining here, cross over points with gentle slopes, not abrupt lines, where tempo stops, and again where high "noise" starts, and I'd expect them to vary, but i'd wager with a thorough enough test, with best fit lines implemented, would illustrate where these " ideal ...

Re: Question of Pitch Perception

I think we can get a decent answer given the right experiment and a decent data sample. Perhaps a wide range of different sounds (melodies, rich overtone wave forms, sines, even pitch shift materials) and perhaps conduct it like an eye test, take the results, put a best fit line to it.

I know that ...

Question of Pitch Perception

Post a paper, talk out of your a**, grab an oscillator- do a sweep and give an honest personal answer.

At what lowest and highest frequencies would you say your personal sense of definitive pitch begins and ends? When is it just a "feeling" or a timbre? We can hear frequencies from about 20hz-20khz ...
