"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws." -Ayn Rand

The only real advantage to adding in "unused" octaves is in order to transmit overtones. Overtones shape the sound you can hear even though they may not be hear directly. Think about it as if you were to have a G note at 120 dB playing in an octave that you couldn't hear. It would still cause all things around with a fundamental frequency that is a "G" to vibrate as well as color certain audible noises.
