Grammar Edit

The line "Other species have a different range of hearing" needs to become "Other species have different ranges of hearing" because the various species have different respective ranges of hearing and not just one single range. This is just a simple edit that I thought someone should change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.49.11.210 (talk) 00:46, 25 May 2012‎ (UTC)[reply]

Should or shouldn't Duration go under Physics?

If sound is just pressure and time, why or why not? I don't know and I can't paste. Think about it. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:12, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Duration is certainly part of physics. Something about duration could be placed there.

The text about duration in the Perception section talks about how the listening experience length may differ from the actual duration, so that stuff is relevant where it is. Binksternet (talk) 03:39, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
