PWD2 kicked ODAC's ass tho. Just way more controlled and tighter sounding, not just in bass but throughout entire spectrum.
Writing proper english is actually much simpler than sound waves, so if you can't grapple with the former, I'm not sure how you can expect to fully understand the latter. It's not that simple.
there may be aspects of hearing we can't measure yet, but we can measure sound. sound is a wave. waves are purely mathematical. unless u think there's a branch of maths that we don't fully understand yet that is required to characterise a wave, u should re-evaluate ur "there may be things we can't measure yet" argument. how do we know if 2 sounds are the same? they have the same waveform! keep in mind our ears are measuring instruments...albeit bad ones
Actually, our ears are quite splendid instruments. It's our brain that can cause illusions. Put yourself into an anechoic chamber. I think the world's best one is rated at -9dB. Supposedly from those that have been in there, you can hear your heatbeat, and even the blood coursing through your veins. You can hear the air molecules vibrating against your eardrum. Most people go crazy and can't stand to be in one for more than 45 minutes tops. Our world is full of echo, that when we remove it we can't handle it.
Not really. Yes, they're quite sensitive, but they throw out a tremendous amount of information (in terms of the neural impulses sent to the brain, it's nothing like the output of a microphone) which means the brain must do a tremendous amount of interpretation/interpolation to try and fill in the missing information.

I don't know if that'd necessarily be the case in an anechoic chamber though. It's hard to conjecture on how the brain responds to sensory deprivation. The few accounts I've heard of people being in anechoic chambers have resulted in severe disorientation, to the extent of inducing nausea/vomiting.
It'd be an interesting experiment.

It's easier to talk to a wall.
Oh, hi wall. You're looking mighty fine today. So swirly, and I like the subtle breathing, and the way your colors drip...
