The effect is reliable but may not sensed by every individual - people listen to "different things" with sounds, so may not pick it without "learning" what to listen for.

In the electrical world every influence will alter the operation of a circuit - it can't not do so, it's one of the rules of the universe, 😉. The real arguments are, by how much, and whether it's audible at all - IME, once you learn "how" to listen for it then it's quite easy to pick the behaviour in any more ambitious system - and like most acquired sensibilities you can't then "unlearn" being aware of it.

If it's made a difference to you, then it's made a difference. If you go into a bedding store, and you pick the most comfortable mattress, for you - then, that's the most comfortable mattress!

Comfortable in the store is a subjective measure. However there is a very easy objective measure, which is how refreshed you feel after actually sleeping on it and if your back is stiff etc. A mattress lasts long enough for the 'ooh new mattress' to wear off and get real objective data.

Hard to tell, but I think the secondary is floating.

Now, that's interesting ... you're saying that the comfort in the store is a subjective evaluation, yet feeling refreshed is an objective evaluation. I can't reconcile those two points - could you care to elaborate?

lying on your back fully clothed on a bed in a store in broad daylight in front of strangers is unlikely to tell you if you will wake up after 6-8 hours refreshed and without an aching back. Actually sleeping in the bed will tell you that. A lot of people chose too soft mattresses in the shop as they feel comfortable on a 10 second test. Sleep is the test of a bed, not a 'feeling'

It's also damned hard to check if it will be good for procreation when there are salespeople hanging around.
