Много интересных вещей - не только про звук колоколов.

"Pitch is an artifact of the human hearing system and pitch perception has unexpected complexities. Even with a pure tone, pitch depends slightly on the loudness of the sound being listened to. Sounds with multiple partial frequencies, especially if they are not harmonically related, can be heard in two ways by different listeners, and by the same listener under different circumstances.

...

Pitches cannot be measured with instruments, they exist only in our perception of a sound. Only a human listener can tell us the pitch of a sound - and different listeners will not all agree."

И так во всём: есть нечто простое и легко определимое. Присмотришься - а оно на самом деле офигенно сложное и плохоопределимое. Присмотришься повнимательней - а его на самом деле вовсе нет, точнее, нет за пределами нашего сознания...
