If there are others actually interested in this other than me....

download a spectrum analyzer here:

http://www.brownbear.de/

it works off your computer's soundcard and is free for a trial.

What I found was that the A-137 can emphasize the odd harmonics or the
even harmonics. By just listening you will hear a full sound when even
harmonics are emphasized, and a "pinched" sound when the odd harmonics
are emphasized... this was clearly seen with the spectrum analyzer.

the spectrum analyzer program is very helpful to visualize what's
going on here, and some high frequency harmonics are especially
prominent with certain symmetry settings.. with a fundamental at
1000Hz for convenience, I could get a very loud harmonic that was
almost in ultrasound range at certain settings.

fun.
