This music is great! It must be because of these capital intensive goods which I use to play the music not the human and social society which produced it.

IIRC the upper limit to the human ability to notice a single wildly distinct frame (like a completely black frame or a frame from a different video) is around 500Hz. They won't necessarily be able to determine what the content was, but they will have picked up the change. 60Hz is where things look consistently smooth and you start to miss slight variations in length between frames, and by 120Hz even variations in frame timing smooth out.

That's really cool, how do you know that 500hz number?
I'm not sure it is 500Hz, just that it's somewhere in that range (trying to look it up I'm finding a lot more on comprehension than just literally noticing that something changed at all), and that comes from having read about studies that did shit like insert a single wrong frame in a video and attempt to determine the threshold at which people no longer notice that there was an incongruous frame. Perhaps to put it another way, around 2 milliseconds is ostensibly the shortest time something can be visible for someone to notice that there was something there, since as someone else pointed out we don't actually see in "frames" there's just a limit to how quickly information can by absorbed and processed.
Reading further, just below 5ms of having an image visible is the minimum time at which trained professionals start identifying outlines correctly, and ostensibly around 13ms is where the average person starts being able to see and recall content
