Fourier analysis alone cannot explain perceived pitch of a tone

Evidence

Ohm knew that each of the terms on the righthand side corresponded to a different partial that could possibly be heard out by analytic listening. This much is true, but by itself it suggests a kind of democracy of partials, and doesn’t explain our sense of pitch or, for example, the case of 100 Hz and 200 Hz, wherein a 100 Hz pitch is reported unless it is many times weaker than 200 Hz. — Eric J.

• QUESTION: The core puzzle — why a missing or weak fundamental still produces its pitch — is exactly the why-do-we-hear-what-we-hear question the reader wants answered.
