Re: Jont Allen's comment.

Plomp once defined speech as "a waveform slowly varying in intensity
and frequency". I have yet to find a more succint and to-the-point
characterization of speech: it implies the AM and FM nature of
the signal and sets ("slowly") some limits to the modulation
frequency.
The sine-wave analog experiments (with due respect to Bob Remez
and others) sins against one of the criteria -- the AM-ness.
Thus, despite any degree of speechiness of the percept,
