The human auditory system can perceive pitch differences down to a specific minimum duration
Psychophysical evidence confirms that the human auditory system's ability to discriminate pitch and temporal differences depends heavily on tone duration, following specific limens and temporal integration limits.
The retrieved literature consistently supports the specific claim that the human auditory system perceives pitch and temporal differences as a function of minimum stimulus duration, as demonstrated by studies measuring frequency difference limens and temporal processing limits for short-duration tones.

Demonstrates that pitch discrimination performance for pure tones depends systematically on stimulus duration.
