Be careful when playing with pure sines.
The way the cochlea works inside the ear is almost like a Fourier transform. A pure sine only stimulates a small number of hair cells while a signal with multiple frequencies will stimulate a much larger number, therefore spreading the overall energy across a larger number of cells.
This is to say that you need to be careful because it is much easier to damage your ear when playing with pure sine waves, at lower levels than a musical signal that contains many frequencies.
