Unnoticeable comma

Unnoticeable commas are very small intervals. These commas are called "unnoticeable" because, being equal to or less than 3.5 cents, they are smaller than the average peak JND (just-noticeable difference) of human pitch perception, as illustrated by the research of Aaron Andrew Hunt. It is improbable that even a trained listener would be able to notice these intervals, and as such they a prime target for psychoacoustically informed microtempering.

For commas over 100 cents in size, see Large commas; for commas in between 30 and 100 cents in size, see Medium commas; and for commas over 3.5 cents in size, see Commas.

Due to the wide range of sizes, cents values here and on the other commas pages are listed to 5 significant digits, instead of to a fixed number of decimal places as is the convention elsewhere on the wiki. Except for the 3-limit commas, the color name refers to both the comma and the temperament created when it is tempered out.
