Can you hear the differences between a square wave and a sine wave
Square waves are associated with clipping and too much power under the curve - voice coil changes from copper color to a darker color before failure of speaker ( also, aroma of voice coil is sensed via olfactory or sense of smell )!

Re: Can you hear the differences between a square wave and a sine wave
Thank You , Mike !
Might help some , as far as replacement of speakers after they get burned up $$ U need to turn it down !
Harshness is heard by many , sometimes it is laid on speakers . If your amplifier's gain is turned to right or up , excessively , the noise floor is raised to unacceptable levels [ solution - buy an amp with more power ].
Learn the sequence to follow when setting gains , correctly.

Re: Can you hear the differences between a square wave and a sine wave
When clipping causes power compression [ speakers sound 3 dB's quieter ] . Some just turn volume knob to the right , not good !
If you listen for extended periods of time and your speakers seem to drop in output level [ Time to quit ! " for that session ].

Re: Can you hear the differences between a square wave and a sine wave
How high can you hear a difference , and is this helpful ?
Do you understand the difference between a sine wave ( gently undulating or rolling waves ) and ( square waves where the top of the wave has been clipped off and you are left with too much under the curve ).
Time to buy new speakers

Re: Can you hear the differences between a square wave and a sine wave
At subwoofer frequencies - 10% distortion is exceptable to a large number of people . [ 20's - 80's hertz ] At midrange frequencies distortion is easier identified and found objectionable. [ 100 hZ - 2 khZ ]
Hopefully , you can distinguish between square or " clipped off waves " and the sine waves.
At a high enough frequency the waves sound similar. some or few people can hear above 20 khZ
Dog whistles start around 23 khZ !

Re: Can you hear the differences between a square wave and a sine wave
Some tweeters claim to play frequencies well above 20,000 hertz. Since I can't hear those frequencies and I have seen tweeters that claimed 50,000 hertz [ super tweeters ] , never was interested in em .
From 9,000 to 20,000 = silence to my hearing , how about yours ?
