"Wah wah"

There's your words. Tongue

By the way, I only got to about 25 seconds, so you guys both did a lot better than me! Although, actually, every few seconds, I could suddenly notice a difference. The click at the start of each new cycle is kind of distracting as well. Curious. I'm suspicious that limitations in my sound equipment (resonance etc.) might be doing something funny. I should try it with studio headphones later.

Same here.
The way I, and probably everybody, detects one sound as being out of tune with another is the dissonant waves.

So I wonder if it would be easier to detect a sound that is getting closer to the original sound, if you know what I mean.
You would hear a fast wave length that gradually reduces.
I find it hard to put into words.

I think Benny has it right, that it's much, much easier to use the harmonic discrepancies in a dyad or chord than it is to identify a continuous change in a single note once it starts climbing the asymptotic hill, so to speak.

Yeah, I listened on my phone, and the discrete changes at the beginning were very noticeable. I'll listen at home on headphones and see what difference, if any, there may be.

I can try to remove the clicks at each transition by matching the phases, didn't have the brainwill yesterday to attemot that...

I actually find the lower one more noticeable-- there's a very clear chorus-effect "wah wah."
