No doubt, you are part of an evil plot to soak the world's fisheries with crude oil and replace the American Idol contestants with singing computers. I knew it was a bad omen when that feisty Brit left the Idol judging panel. :-( Well it won't work because I am telling no one that I find odd orders more pleasing and the multi tone beat might follow similar rules.

Yes you are right in that there is cultural variation and that has to do with conditioned reflex, but there is a fundamental positive human response to consonants. Regards, Jay Bala.
