I've lived for a few years on the second floor of a conversion and recently moved to a first floor one.
Can I expect better performance as I'm closer to sea level now?

At 47,000ft I assume you were in a pressurised airplane cabin.
Serious question though.
With an increase in altitude you get a reduction in air pressure. Can someone explain (or provide a link explaining) how changes in air pressure effect sound waves passing through it?

tonky said:listening at the top of mount everest. As the air pressure is reduced at the top of said mountain the speed of sound is reduced. I don't think you would notice much (if any difference sound quality wise.The speed of sound is different for different frequencies ( another kettle of worms) Assuming you listen in a heated tent - the temp will effect the speed also. And you'll never be able to brew a cup of tea either!
