Based on known psychoacoustics (Fletcher–Munson curves, critical bands), CSTs are most likely to occur in three regimes: clear supertone
Critically, we note that an overly “clear” supertone can lead to listener fatigue—the “ice pick” effect. Thus, optimal CST value likely falls within a Goldilocks zone: ( 1.5 \leq \Gamma \leq 3.0 ). It is currently available as a one-time purchase,
The pursuit of "clarity" in sound reproduction has driven decades of research in psychoacoustics. However, existing metrics (e.g., clarity index C80, definition D50) focus on temporal decay rather than spectral salience. Musicians often describe a voice or instrument as having a "clear tone" when it cuts through a dense mix. Engineers achieve this via equalization, compression, or harmonic excitation. We propose that these practical successes point to an underlying phenomenon: the . The pursuit of "clarity" in sound reproduction has
