I don't really need specific ones, all the above examples would all be good.
The last one about about the woman hearing different frequencies sounds
interesting and probably more in the direction intended. Maybe to narrow it
down better, supplying the more interesting and extreme examples? Other than
specificity isn't necessary at this stage.
If this helps in narrowing down I have these ones already:
