Some say this is a myth, but in over 55 years of being an avid audiophile I have found that woman are more sensitive to high frequency sounds. I never buy speakers or other equipment without an audition of it from a woman . They always seam have an objection to the price of better high end equipment ,but always know what sounds best /less shrill and annoying in the high frequency range . I have to listen for a longer period to tell if it is hinky and fatiguing ,buy woman can pick it up almost instantly. Women are Gods greatest gift to man in so many ways ,even though they can also be hell if you get on their wrong side.

 

Purchased a 2020 CX-5 Gran Tourg CPOwned with 43k miles. 2.5L non turbo. Within 30 days and say 1500 mi. it began chirping first randomly then consistently when shifting from 3rd to 4th (only) at about 30-35 mph (I drive softly). I would call it a chirp or a tweak sound. I took it to the dealer and they replaced tranny no questions asked. They estimated max 6 weeks. They finished in 4. They gave me loaner entire time and even let me take it on a preplanned 2 week vac out of state. great service from this dealer. I saw their invoice back to corporate. It was $5k. Zero to me.

 

Somehow coming from you I believe it....LOL

But without hopefully not going into another great debate with you ......
Not the way to build or upgrade a personal stereo system in vehicle or even a house. For so many reason I wouldn't know or want to post why!
However a real Audiophile would never make that statement about how to build and or upgrade a sound system.

 

If you are going to keep your Mazda I would highly recommend to start a service plan for the transmission at least every 15k miles to change the pan fluid and transmission filter. Start the first one at 3-5k miles and yu will see all the break in material that you do not want to remain in the transmission.
I do understand Mazda think they are lifetime transmission but that does not mean much once your warrty is up and the transmission starts to have problems that you could have seen coming or prevented with a simple pan service.

 

As far as being a serious Audiophile and my equipment , mine is more than well above and beyond what most will ever invest in or have.I have more invested in my sound systems than 3 brand new loaded CX5's . I have 2 totally separate systems for Classic and Rock music . Both solid state and tube amps and pre amps. conventional driver cabinet speakers and Electrostatic speakers. When you have women in your home ,you need to keep them happy with your sound system . If you don't, you will not be happy . I like to listen at 75 to 90 db ,and if she thinks the sound is objectionable ,your going to hear about it .And my totally separate surround system for movies is a real experience. All are wife approved .

 

 

Sigh...the only time my home studio instruments, and all my audio equipment gets a real workout is when my wife is out.
Otherwise, it cannot exceed level "3" on the volume.
And of course, mine all go to "11"

It all depends on the wife and music you play they like. If you keep it down under 85 db you can usually get away with it .

 

I would put to much into a information posted that does not do its own studies but accumulates other information and write and article based on other work. I also saw in that posted informational that none really did any clinical studies and published. Yet there are a few published paper on the question of woman comparing men and in it does have some information regarding sound. But not as dramatic as stating that women hear better then men. .

I am wondering about the db that keeps getting tossed around to support information? I have posted about it myself but then I also own at least 2 handheld db testers as well there is one in my oscilloscope . And we used one once in Auto stereo shop mainly to measure the loudest possible sounds for customers gearing up for a loudest stereo contest event lol.
I just for sheets and gigles did a quick test.
In my living room I turned my stereo up to 85db. The living room is 21ft x 18 feet. Measuring 85 db 3 feet from the speaker the bd diminishes by 7.5 db for every 8feet down to 50.3db at 30ft and up to 45ft going into my kitchen which is open to the Livingroom. So lets think about that for second. LOL
Yes 85db is loud and going to higher level like 95+ will cause you to have reduced hearing eventually then perhaps some females that do not listen to very loud music frequently.
