'''Unnoticeable commas''' are very small intervals. These [[comma]]s are called "unnoticeable" because, being equal to or less than 3.5 cents, they are smaller than the average peak [http://musictheory.zentral.zone/huntsystem2.html#2 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|~~microtempering]]. (However, a considerably larger comma can be unnoticeable in an [[adaptive just intonation|adaptive]] tuning context. Instead of one large pitch shift of the entire comma, there can be many small pitch shifts of a fraction of a comma, one per chord change. Given this, a noticeable 3-limit comma that arguably deserves inclusion is the [[mercator comma]], corresponding to using [[53edo]] for the circle of fifths.)
