As someone who has been stuck many times before - I absolutely cannot help you. You have to push your ears to hear better, and only you can accomplish that task. This is the reality of ear training. I know it's frustrating, and it feels like a puzzle you can't quite solve. Keep working with it, though, and you will one day all of a sudden hear the difference you have been searching for, and you will have your answer.
Then you will arrive at Level 8. 😁

Try different drum machines until you hear what you're missing. Sometimes when two sounds are hitting at the same time, one sound will mask the other and make it difficult to hear.

sometimes a snare or a clap hides a hihat and that is difficult to hear.

Thanks Steve - what an honor - I never expected that :)
