No apology necessary, Bonzo - I respect your opinions and if we disagree from time to time, that's perfectly OK. I had an uncle who was as attuned to engines as you apparently are - He lived in a rural area with dirt roads, rolling hills, and piney woods. He could sit on his front porch and say from the distant engine noise who was coming down the road. And his "recognition factor" worked even at such low sound pressure levels that even my tender child's ears could barely hear them. Now admittedly, after dark, there wasn't much noise at all to interfere - insects, an occasional hoot-owl, and an occasional fox (drawn, no doubt, by the henhouse). So long before any headlights were visible, long before one could see the vehicle at all, Uncle could say with 100% accuracy who was coming (and what they were driving). Now does this have anything to do with audio memory? Maybe and maybe not. It is perfectly possible that I'm fooling myself, and only THINK that I remember what my older systems sounded like. Since there's no way to time travel back and listen to them again, the question will forever remain academic. But I will stand by my statement that any test saying that our audio memories are only valid for seconds is ipso-facto in error.

My audio memory is perfect, IIRC. Mark That sounds good!

...yes boom, I was thinking about you while naked in the shower. 🤣... Too much information... The question of the moment isn't whether it was TMI or not...that is a given. The real question is..."was he naked in the shower and thinking of you, or...was he thinking of you with you being naked in the shower"? Either made me lose my most recent meal, actually. I'm still recovering... Mark

My brain asked, "Who showers when they're NOT naked?"
