OCD audiophiles rejoice. “A statistical description of ground-to-ground sound propagation” by Schomer shows much your listening experience changes day to day. This longterm study breaks down the huge variations that occur in outdoor listening situations. Schomer played a series of independent frequency tones over and over again.

The variations were much wider than anybody expected.
