Could there be more happening here that we have yet to discover?

e.g. frequencies <20Hz and >20KHz?

Not really. Some English consonants are aspirated, meaning that they are followed by a puff of air, when word-initial and word-final, but are not aspirated after S (as in st-, sk-) or word-internal. Apparently, when an English speaker hears a non-aspirated consonant and feels a puff of air, the nervous system interprets the combination as an aspirated consonant.
