357 bpm/60 = 5.95 bps. This is still way in the sub-audio range. You
would have to effectively almost quadruple the figure in order to get
into the audio range of 20-23 Hz. (Depending on the human), i.e. a drum
sample or repetitive sound would have to have a frequency of 20Hz-23Hz
(Or 1200-1380 bpm) in
order to be heard as a single tone. I'm sure many a Jazz drummer does
357 or more on the snare, although I've never counted.

P.S. Interestingly enough the figure of 20-23 Hz seems to be the
breakpoint where the brain ceases to differentiate between singular
events and 'chooses' to amalgamate them. This is why movie frames must
be shown at, or faster than this Freq. Experiments with touch have even
been devised where an equal
pressure applied to the skin at less than 23Hz are perceived as being
seperate events. While at higher frequencies they are perceived as a
constant pressure, as though there were no movement at all. A snails
perceptual freq. runs at about 4 Hz. No joke.
