If you can't hear the nasty high-pitched noise emitted by most video terminals, think about what this says about your sense of hearing in the region of 15,570 Hz ... /* End of text from uiucdcs:net.info-terms */ Sometimes the problem is not the frequency--subtraction between two frequencies.For example if the music you are listening to has frequencies say at 15,000 Hz then subtraction of the frequencies will give you (15,570 -15,000=) 570 Hz. This is in the audible range. I don't know how to calculate the loudness of subtraction tones. Does anybody else?
