Sorry no.

I´m not the originator of the link I posted:

http://world.std.com/~griesngr/intermod.ppt

That belongs to its author:

http://world.std.com/~griesngr/

David Griesinger is a PhD physicist out of Harvard who is the papa of
the Lexicon 224 digital reverberator.

And the principle scientist at Lexicon, and is chiefly responsible for
the algorithm design that goes into their reverberation and surround
sound products.

As he´s an electronics engineer he doesn´t believe that the ear can
somehow magically hear above 15-20 kHz but instead believes that there´s
a lot of mechanisms, eg distortion, in the gear that we use that will
give clues to the ears so we think that maybe there´s something up there
that we can hear?

Sorry no just plain old distortion.

Remove the distortion and there´s nothing to hear at all.
