Think of the opposite - low frequency dynamics. You know those really low
sub-bass sounds you can't actually hear as much as you feel them. The same can
happen with high-frequency sound, in that they are too high for your ears to
hear, but they can still effect other senses.

There's also the effect that sampling at a low frequency rate such as 44kHz
can have on a signal. A sine wave at 22kHz sampled at 44kHz becomes a triangle
wave, and that does sound vastly different.
