Missing-fundamental illusions depend on a musical context being established first

Evidence

Experience shows that such an experiment relies on pitch context being established when using such stimuli, usually through the use of a known or continuing musical melody. — David M. Howard, Jamie Angus, Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, 1656
