- cesaref 5y agoNope, you sit 3 or 4 feet from the soundboard in a piano, so the latency is around 3 or 4ms.
- matthew_kuiash 5y agoThe speed of sound in air is ~330m/s so sitting about a metre away will produce ~3ms delay. However the speed of the vibration through human flesh (far denser than air) is about 4 to 5 times faster than the speed in air. You will "hear/feel" the sound transmitted through your body far faster than the sound transmitted through air. This maybe why I'm always seeing this magical "1ms" value.
- brandonmenc 5y agoThe 10ms (or 5ms, depending on the source) is a threshold - under which a human perceives the sound as "instant", even though - yes, physically - it is not actually instant.
