Default Frequency response of the ear


"Brian Gaffe"

The main thing about the ear is that it distorts very badly as its non
linear.


** Absolute ******** !!!

Human ears are extremely LINEAR !!!

Detecting 0.1% harmonic distortion ( 1 part in a *million* as a power
level ) on a sine wave would not be possible otherwise.


This is why you hear things four times as loud as only twice as loud.



** Rediculous false conclusion.

How loud sounds seem is function of the brain.
