But it is the way we hear it! All those frequencise that are within our hearing range and within the speaker's reproduction range combine to sound like clicks. Mess with the phase too much and they don't, exactly. My hearing now cuts off sharply above 3 (one eat) or 4 (the other) KHz, down from 12 KHz when I was an audio professional. A square wave (and a pendulum clock) still sounds like clicks to me. That's what that collection of sinusoids sounds like.

Yes. They don't sound like sinusoids.

(and someone else asked about coherence...)
