Or, in less technical language, it makes a real difference to how we
hear sudden noises like claps and cymbals. One of the trivial
demonstrations of this is to record a handclap on DAT then play it
back cut off at 22kHz (DAT native mode) and, say, 15kHz. Almost
everyone can hear the difference clearly, even those who can't hear
continuous 15kHz.
