physiology and psychology of hearing

One of reasons people hears differently is there are natural sounds and un-natural sound. People can only hear one sound only either natural or un-natural sound. People can’t hear natural and un-natural sound at same time. Therefore, a’philes don’t like noise when they are listening audio music.The natural sounds (dog barking, blower sound, washing dishes, people voices) disrupt listening audio music (unnatural).

Listening unnatural sounds takes lots of brain processing and energy that it results "the listener’s fatigue." ex.) many people fall a sleep in Sunday worship. A’philes fall asleep while listening audio music.

For trained ears, they can hear both sounds in alternating manner (I guess alternating 5~10 times/second between 2 sounds). A’philes can alternating faster and easily than women. Therefore, women hear the audio music like the left spkr in below video.

@mihorn - so you’re saying it’s physically impossible for a woman to be an ’audiophile’? I wouldn’t think they were mutually exclusive, but that’s just me.

I said "a’philes (men) can alternating between 2 sounds faster and easily than women." I should say "women in general." Few women have trained ears by exposed to hi-fi in young age.

Somehow more men are committed to hi-fi (un-natural) sound which takes much energy and effort (the listener’s fatigue). And most women refuse to fall for hi-fi sound and they tend to visit the live band cafe or concerts more.

If you tell yourself a more expensive power cord, lifts, or some boutique speaker cables are going to change the sound, you've built in a bias where you think it DOES sound different. But it doesn't. Not one bit.  Snake oil companies appreciate your business

Not all are a snake oil company.

To hear the different sounds in PC compare video, click 3:03 (JPS), listen 10 sec, click 11:25 (WTPC) 10 sec. Repeat.
