Review of consonance theories and their evolution highlights psychoacoustic limitations and new insights.

Consonance theories suggest that roughness influences the degree of dissonance, establishing a key relationship between sound intervals.
The distinction between roughness and difference tones allows for understanding how consonance is perceived differently in chords.
