@marcan Since you seem to have a great setup with a reference mic already - mind recording how this off-by-one actually sounds like? As in, how it distorts the ~300Hz range. Spectra are great but I'd love to hear it (mostly to figure out whether I'd have noticed it or not)

If it takes too long, I guess I can call this an excuse to learn more about audio processing and try to replicate this myself

@marcan @l_prod wow, I really thought like, yeah audio people will get this, but that it is this obviouse that something is wrong is crazy. Sound like the speaker is vibrating loosely in the case. That must have triggered someone in QA.

@de_maulwurf87 @l_prod No see that's the thing, this is *inharmonic* (out of tune), and that can't happen with a physical process like rattling. I was actually looking *for* rattling/resonances when I noticed this, which is a different (and much more inevitable) problem.

This kind of artifact can only happen with bad/broken DSP.

@marcan I'm currently only on tinny *phone* speakers but it's noticeable.
That is... wow. I don't know what to say.
