I've had to do some of this stuff for my degree, it appears when your hearing is driven to distortion, there are a ton of them out there and some pretty interesting sites.

Diana Deutsch has done some pretty interesting experiments in this field.

Even though I can't hear a note from the C+B, I'll just call it C4.

So the harmonics created by the harmony are C4,E4,C4,F4,G4,A4,C4,E4

The E4's seem to be out of tune towards the F4's, but I'd still say they're closer to E4.

Hey. I always thought this was one of the coolest illusions. Audio sample in site. Really fucks with your head.

Ha ha, there's an mp3 at the bottom of the page

I liked the Shepard Tone illusion but I definately think it could be better executed. There's a clip every few seconds in the audio file, and shortly afterwards you can hear it start from the top again. The whole point was that the sound should be infinitely descending!

Some of the links from the page were good as well

Not so much illusions, but very cool audio demonstrations nonetheless

Nice one I liked the tests for the frequency response of the ear - something I'm going to look into more actually.
