High speed and low speed buffet

As explained in the previous thread, I don't think there is significant difference between high speed or low speed Mach buffet. Perhaps the frequency changes gradually with Mach number, and that may be noticeable if there is a large spread between the high and the low limit. But since an airline pilot never gets there, would he be able to recognize the difference?
