1. A through-air bonded nonwoven fabric comprising:
the through-air bonded nonwoven fabric comprising a first surface, a second surface, and a visually discernible zone on at least one of the first surface and second surface, the visually discernible zone having a 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 at least one of the surfaces has a TS7 value of less than about 15 dB V2 rms;
wherein the intensive property is basis weight;
wherein the difference in values for the basis weight for the first region and the second region is from about 1.2× to about 10× different;
wherein, in at least one of the microzones, the first and second regions comprise a surfactant; and
wherein a ratio of % surfactant in the first region to % surfactant in the second region is less than 1.
