Tritone Paradox: The Same Interval Sounds Up or Down

Sign in to see author· 1h ago

Curated archive entry based on published research. Listeners can disagree about whether paired Shepard-tone-like sounds rise or fall across a tritone; judgments depend partly on spectral structure and listener differences. This describes a documented perceptual effect under the cited conditions, not an independent personal report or evidence that the underlying physical measurements changed.
