Some harmonics are more discordant than others. Odd harmonics sound worse than even harmonics do, and higher harmonics sound more edgy than lower ones. So if you have 5% second harmonic in one environment and 3% fifth harmonic in another, the latter will sound worse even though the percentage of distortion in the first case is higher.
