Can the human ear tell the difference in audio? 160kbps vs 224kbps?

Can the human ear tell the differnce in audio when set at say 160kbps instead of 224kps? Can the difference be heard?

I can 8)
At 224Kbps, the audio has a higher frequency spectrum and you "feel" ( in your ears, of course ) sounds that are not present, or are dimmer if the sound is encoded at 160Kbps. It's a small difference, but it's present.
