The ability to detect differences in auditory stimuli depends on the Just Noticeable Difference (JND) which varies depending on the frequency range and individual differences. However, a difference of 2 Hz is generally recognized as a detectable difference for many auditory frequencies in controlled conditions, making it a reasonable threshold for many listeners to discern a change.
