Imperfections: Human 'dissonance'

More particularly, Humans don't cause Disturbance when performing normal human activities (including spending Essence to improve skill rolls; non Aware humans use Essence haphazardly, and only for skill checks, but can't use Songs). Humans who can use Songs or Attunements cause Disturbance just like Celestials and Ethereals, but the latter categories also cause Disturbance when they damage/destroy things on the material plane because it's not their native dimension. Resonance is something that is peculiar to your Choir/Band, which humans don't have.
