Well, you can hear it working, because below a certain point, everything just goes away, and if something happens which is suppose to be just audibile enough to hear it, the noise "gate" might clip it off, and the more you hear it working, the more you wonder what you might be missing. Early stereo TV stations used it and it made me wish to slowly show them how it truly sounds when sight isn't distracting their ears. I mean, that is cruel torture!
