Pat, it depends on the frequency of the notes in question! If you're
comparing a note of x Hz and a note 23 cents above, the difference between
them is

x*(2^(23/1200)-1)

or

x*0.0134.

Hz is a poor measure of the just-noticable difference. For most people in
most contexts, it's on the order of a few cents, while the Hz difference
will vary widely in different registers.
