- karmakaze 4y agoI'm sure the other statement was made with the same confidence. Downloading doesn't have to be for listening today. In the future we may not have the same hearing limitations. In short the overconfidence is a result of not imagining a future that's different than today.
- doublepg23 4y agoI would assume recordings that didn't take hypersonic hearing into account would sound bad still. It is like recording movies today to include ultraviolet light on the chance we have bionic eyes in the future.

Particularly as it applies to the resonance of a listening environment. Maybe you won’t notice in your headphones, but on a PA system in a physical space, e that indoor or outdoor, there’s a measurable and discernible change to the audible frequencies based on the existence or non existence of the inaudible ones. The same applies on the high end, but it’s less practical of an example, and I’m not sure half of people would care to listen long enough to notice.
- X10tachyon 4y agoThis is a slightly broke take because your ears do not need to hear a particular frequency for it to impact what you do hear. Harmonic resonance creates overtones which can be audible through modifying those frequencies which are heard.
