It is true that listening to a signal generator at 7.4 kHz and switching
between sine and square waves would reveal no audible difference, but
this proves absolutely nothing! The speaker/headphone cannot reproduce
the 7.4 kHz square wave accurately anyway, so you would NOT be comparing
sine with square, but sine with sort-of-square-sine-almost. Transducers
are not as nice as electronics. Square waves are nasty test signals.
