Maybe your ears just aren't good enoughI'm speaking from my hearing experience here and I wasn't able to pick up the 2nd nor the 3rd harmonic out of the fundamental on a -60dB difference
My thresholds are based on the sources I've cited. Earlier in this thread, @mitchco brought up the topic of what realistic thresholds for an average Joe could be. Nothing wrong with the discussion, but I don't really have any comments on it and my thresholds will remain the same.
Yes, the basis for the threshold is Amir's article on dynamic range: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/dynamic-range-how-quiet-is-quiet.14/Or you are probably referring to dynamic as the difference between the loudest and the barely perceivable sound
Anything below -120 dBFS is inaudible, be it noise, distortion, or imaginary Head-Fi concepts.
