Clipping does not cause anything in the listener. Clipping is a feature of signal processors that know when they are being pushed too hard. All it is is cutting off part of the dynamic range to save the speakers. A system which is being driven wrong can be made to clip while not actually all that loud. Conversely, if a system is very good, and being driven well it well not clip at incredible volumes. I have been in rooms with systems so loud that my eyeballs were compressing with the bass, and there was no clipping.
