Is the feel good factor, a plus or a minus with the sound effect at altitude? Better or worse?, Or just less, work to get there? Just wondering..
So if can’t hear a fart in space, can you smell one, or does that go hand in hand. Bet you can’t smell just one? LOL
Regrets, probably...
Regards, maybe...
Forward men, but never straight............. forward... Onward! |
Geoffs on a roll today 😂
Interesting side note: it takes less booze at high altitudes to feel the effects. If you drink while listening, this is another factor that comes into play. |
That’s weird. I’m pretty sure it’s in space no one can eat ice cream. |
Actually, it was from the first Alien movie advertised as “in space, no one can hear you scream”. I still have the movie poster. |
Correct.
Sound is pressure waves transmitted by molecules bumping and bouncing off each other. The greater the density the faster and more efficient the wave. Air at sea level being more dense the sound will be louder with more dynamic impact. Go higher, air gets thinner, more tenuous, sound and dynamic detail are less. The difference the first mile is however much less than a dozen other things that change such as for example the room. The room and setup contributes far more to the sound than changes in atmospheric pressure.
To hear a difference greater than all the other differences you need to go higher. At some point high enough density falls to zero, no molecules, no waves, no sound. Thus the expression, In space no one can hear you fart.

The change in the listening room itself probably dwarfs any changes in altitude.
|
So if the rooms are not exactly the same, of course there would be a difference in sound.

That is why EBM live's in a Penthouse. Ultimate SQ!!! 👍 |
I like D_S answer.. hee hee.
The air is thinner, thing are bound to be a little faster and with less pressure on the old ear drum, ay? But give it a little time, just like you for the altitude change.. Interesting though.. Humidity is right in there with SQ to...It all plays into "The sound", ay?
Would it actually be a lower spl with the same watts or not? I gotta think on that one a bit. $ for $ would you get the same SPL at sea level as one, two, or what about 4 miles up. Everest? Can you hear anything up there.
With no air, no pressure, little air, little pressure, Right?

They should always sound better when you're high!! |
There’s something referred to as, "acoustic impedence", which affects, "sound pressure", and varies with air pressure. Given your elevation change amounts to less than a mile; it’s highly unlikely you’ll notice anything. Not that big a change, in air pressure. https://www.animations.physics.unsw.edu.au/jw/sound-impedance-intensity.htm Cleveland is a nice place to be FROM, isn’t it? |
MarkLevinson.... I also live in Prescott. I came from Boston....sea level. The sound of my von Schweikerts did not change in any way I could hear. YMMV. Bet you’re loving the weather here over Lake Erie gloom. |
Yes, it makes them sound higher by about 4,500 feet. Lower efficiency speakers suddenly become higher efficiency. A Magnepan can be driven by a 3 Watt amp whereas in Ohio one needs 200 Wpc. ;)
Other than that, I suspect that changing a pair of interconnects has more impact than elevation.
