Noise Floor Too Low !! 

Damn! that sounds amazing. So I may be actually improving the quality too? that's amazing. Thanks

Another aspect to "adding noise" (to a digital recording) is that data compression algorithms on say minidisc 💽 (remember that format?) loses the least important audio information as only about a 5th of the original sound is stored. By using the principle of "audio masking" minidisc retained what it considers important as the human ear heards more than the brain gets to know about so by removing the bit the ear doesn't bother to tell the brain isn't there anyway. A good example of "selective hearing" is that your ears prick up when you hear your name in a busy bar or restaurant even if lots of people are talking at the same time. Now this is where adding noise MAY be interesting..... if a data compression algorithm losses the least important sound, that might be the hiss or very subtle sound reflections of a room, that's why minidisc sounded more focused and acoustically "dry" compared to lossless formats like CD. Adding noise might also be like a painter and decorator filling up cracks in a wall before painting, the paint could be considered "data compression" as although the physical size of wall remains the same as 2d object (corner to corner, floor to ceiling) the 3d size of the wall may be less due to a flatter surface area.

Darn that is deep. and probably right on the button. Thank you. I now know a bit more about the brain and how it filters out stuff and probably makes up stuff too. We are amazing, eh? @@user-or4hs7xq9u
