Method for making a shaped nonwoven

A nonwoven fabric comprising:

• a first surface;
• a second surface;
• and
• at least two different, visually discernible patterns on at least one of the first and second surfaces, the at least two different, visually discernible patterns each having a regular, repeating pattern of three-dimensional features, each of the three-dimensional features defining a microzone comprising a first region and a second region, the first and second regions having a difference in values for an intensive property;
• wherein the intensive property is basis weight or volumetric density;
• wherein the first surface has a TS7 value in the range of about 1 dB V2 rms to about 15 dB V2 rms;
• wherein the second surface has a TS7 value in the range of about 1 dB V2 rms to about 15 dB V2 rms;
• wherein the TS7 value of the first surface is different than the TS7 value of the second surface;
• wherein a ratio of the TS7 value of the first surface to the TS7 value of the second surface is in the range of about 1 to about 3;
• wherein the nonwoven fabric is air through bonded;
• wherein the nonwoven fabric retains greater than 70% of its original average caliper after being tested by the Compression Aging Test at a pressure of 35 KPa;
• and
• wherein the nonwoven fabric comprises bicomponent fibers.
