Default Noise Weighting Curves

My thanks to all those, both on and off list, who
provided useful info on the noise weighting curves.

The two ITU curves are similar but
ITU-R ARM is a later Dolby Labs
proposal which moves the whole curve
1kHz to the right.

Thanks also to my pal Richard in the UK,
I now have a chart in Excel showing all three
IEC curves, A,B and C, plus the two ITU curves.

Comparison is interesting. One can also see why
the old IEC "A" weighted curve is still popular:-)


Do bear in mind what these curves should be approximating. They should be
approximating the appropriate Fletcher-Munson curve for the SPL being
listened to.
