I listen at a controlled 60% of humidity and I find the sound is better or perhaps more enjoyable than at higher percentages.

Optimal Humidity for Listening?
1]Can water vapor have a noticeable influence on sound?
2]Do water molecules in their gaseous form diffuse sound energy?
3]Will banishing water vapor from the listening room ameliorate the sound quality that the eardrum resonates to?
4] What is the optimal percentage of humidity in the listening room?
Living in a sultry climate, the outdoor humidity is around 80% late evening and near 100% at dawn. Air conditioning alone reduces the indoor humidity to a mere 70%. With the use of a dehumidifier, one can control the amount of water vapor in his listening room.
Thanks!
