I don't believe in psychoacoustics for most events they are suggested to be the case of origin.
For me psychoacoustic argumentation is a lame excuse of phenomena that can not be explained and if there was an explanation, it would not fit into the believe system.

What you hear is real. I trust your ears
Gui - I hope this is not entirely off-topic, but I don't understand how you can reconcile those two statements. I agree very much that one should trust ones ears, but doesn't that inherently mean that you must also accept that psycho-acoustic effects will be important? Surely when ears and brain are "in the loop", psycho-acoustics is more or less the whole explanation of everything! Conversely, if you said "trust measurements, not your ears" then you could reasonably argue that psycho-acoustic effects should be ignored. In any case, I think to describe them as "lame excuses" is a bit unreasonable unless one can offer a compelling (and testable) alternative explanation.
