[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 15045, member: 487"] Hey Shauno, cool tests. I wonder if headphones would have made the more subliminal responses clearer? I think this is where ear training comes into the equation. When testing different settings with the 5000, usually just air tests I try to lift the coil to the point that the signal is almost inaudible and listen to how it behaves in different settings. I've seen some youtube vids where people claim they can't even hear the signal that the operator has just dug. Where to me it was a good clear signal. I've done thousands of hours of editing audio listening for the most subliminal clicks, pops, glitches, pitch variations and other noises under layers of sound. It's amazing how much our brain filters out during the normal course of a day, also understandiong the way our ears actually work can make big difference in hearing things. A renowned mastering engineer I know claimed he could hear his power points chirping at night, I never truly believed him until I heard it myself one night. It's amazing the things we never hear. Learning to trust your ears is the main thing, some people hear things but it never registers or gains thier attention. [/QUOTE]
