Dear readers of the list: In speech pitch data (fundamental frequency f0) I found preliminary = evidence that the human auditory system may process pitch < 170 Hz = differently from pitch > 170 Hz. The effect was independent of sex. Question: Has anybody come across or heard of results, either = psychoacoustical or physiological, that may be relevant to a possible = break point in human pitch perception at ~ 170 Hz ?
