Yes, the higher the clash threshold, the harder it is to trigger a clash sound. Same with swing sounds. The higher you set a threshold parameter, the more effort/force it takes to meet that threshold. Thus this creates a less sensitive saber. I ran into trouble with this on a recent build. I could not calibrate the swing properly. It would either swing out of control and without me moving the saber, or hardly swing at all. Sometimes it depended on the day rather than the soundboard settings.
