I think what we are talking about here is psychoacoustics. I actually
studied this, in a non-sceintific manner quite a bit as I find the subject
fascinating. I think the issue here is about non-distorted tones in the
upper midrange of an animals hearing. Higher, softer- but not real high
tones - are considered "pleasant" to most women and children. It is
actually quite difficult to find a lot of info on psychoacoustics - If
someone has a source for such info - I am interested in learning of it,
thanks.
