After all, (N-1)/N of the energy has been removed, leaving 1/N, by ignoring all but every Nth sample. Fred

Suppose a 4 KHz bandlimited signal sampled at both at 8 KHz and at 44.1. Is there a difference in loudness when they're played back?

Does a 100 HZ full-scale sinewave show more energy when sampled at 20 KHz than it does when samples at 500 Hz?
