Theory of Relevance 

The theory explaining why something that we know nothing about suddeny appears everywhere in our lives once we are made aware of its presence in the world. The theory states that it has always been there, however once we make a personal connection with it, we realize it in everyday use.
This summer I visited Tahiti and ever since I returned the French Polynesian Islands have been all over the news.

Melodical-Charging-Relevance-Theory 

This is the theory for sounds where one specific sound doesn't start with its own climax.
Simpler said, the sound has to build up volume first and the climax starts 5-30 milliseconds later.
Looking at another perspective, it is very likely that drum sounds instantly reach their climax where as (mostly noticeable) EDM sounds that have some kind of distortion to them, don't reach their climax instantly, but get them more likely delayed.
I think on this sound the Melodical-Charging-Relevance-Theory kicks in. This seems very delayed.
