Original Wikitext content:
The **Microtone** is an [[interval measure]] that is sufficiently precise for all thinkable musical and music-science purposes. Besides its high accuracy, it is of a very high neutrality since it favors neither twelve-tonality nor even the [[octave]]. One microtone (**1µt**) is defined as one millionth of the [[Tone]]. == The Microtone Challenge == A microtone is indeed a very small interval: 4904 microtones make one [[Cent|Cents]], and 5884949 an octave. Two sounds differing by 1 µt produce a very slow beat; depending on the frequency one have to wait more or less to recocnize it. The beat frequency is * at the upper limit of the hearing range (20 kHz) 7 minutes * in the range of the highest acoustic sensibility (4 KHz) 35 minutes * at the lower limit of the hearing range (16 Hz) 7 days Given this, will it be ever possible to make a //microtone experience// at all?
