Sounds with a spectral gap leave a clear tonal after-image when switched off
Evidence
From the field of sound that you are hearing, select a sound. Focus on it and amplify it with your imagination. Continue to hold and amplify the sound, even if the real sound has stopped. When you are done, scan your body/mind and notate your feelings. — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 332 (
