Hi, I don't know what you consider as "listening device", but the ear has fantastic ability to hear slightly differentiating sounds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats On the basis of that, someone could "listen" time and detect even very minor differences in sync, far below the base frequency (ie. think of multiplying with a PLL the PPS by a 440 factor).
