From experience you'd definitely notice and would have a hard time going back. My windows settings had restricted my fps to 30 on my mmo and i didn't know but when i fixed it and had 60 the difference was huge. Took a week to get used to.
Got my wife a 144hz screen and i can see the difference between my 60 and hers but it's not as huge.
Any time some weird thing results in the refresh rate being set incorrectly, it is pretty noticable to me. Though it might be more about the pixel response time being tuned for the max refresh rate and thus the screen looking a bit darker at lower refresh rates (because the pixels get closer to returning to black before the next frame comes in).
Just speculating on the reason but I definitely notice it when it's wrong.
