I don't know why but I find that bright high sound (high frequencies) a
bit noiselike. When you open a lowpass filter the signal in a synth, digital
or analog, seems to by buzzy bright like high pitched noise. I know they are
just overtones but they seems unnatural to me. But when I listen to a freq.
mod. signal o, you can say a metallic/gong sound the bright sound does seem
more natural.

Maybe someone who has some psychoacoustic explanation?

Yep we're humans, and ns are subjective.
