the human hearing system was designed, from the ground up, over millennia, in the realm of natural selection, to hear through and past noise and wow & flutter. It was designed to do these complex things via it’s temporally sensitive and aligned comb filter ’multi thousand point’ amplitude triggered system. All tied to the most complex and potent bit of computing power known to exist ---the human mind.
And yes noise can impact our hearing perception both negative and positive. There is more than just simple amplitude triggering predator/prey hearing. Communication and language processing has resulted in significant processing capabilities w.r.t. tone and pace where "wow and flutter" can have meaning, hence we detect this unnatural artifact.
Hence my nicely rude line about how people wear their consciousness. (where I do not exempt myself, and.. as this post comes into focus for the reader...it is seen as frighteningly close to the truth)
Rude? perhaps. A straw-man and call to authority more obviously. It seems most definite that did nothing to move the argument forward.
Something about time, and cognition, If I recall correctly....
No, something about trying to take the complex interpretation of sound that occurs in humans and equate that, without evidence, to a level of "information lost" in an electrical signal, to make a claim about digital systems (or even electrical signals), that cannot be supported by any accepted methods of measurement.
