It is very stunning indeed. Fourier analysis of any kind seems like a miracle. A follow-up question then: Is there a maximum complexity or amplitude of sound that can be carried by normal air? (I assume there is a limit to what our ears can detect, correct?)

When one hears a police siren, music, and a car alarm all at once, how can these multiple types of vibrations be accommodated by the medium? (Let's take the simple case of the diatomic gases in air.) Is it possible for individual molecules to vibrate and propagate multiple sound waves at once...
