Question: which of the two frequencies is loudness growth greater for a normal hearing listener with thresholds of 0 dB HL at audiometric frequencies: 50 dB SPL tone at 125 Hz or a 40 dB SPL tone at 1000 Hz? Explain
The loudness growth would be greater with the 40 dB SPL tone at 1000 Hz. This is because the amount of loudness growth is directly proportional to the intensity (measured in dB SPL) of the sound. A tone with a greater intensity (40 dB SPL rather than 50 dB SPL) at a higher frequency (1000 Hz rather than 125 Hz) will have a greater amount of loudness growth for a normal hearing listener with thresholds of 0 dB HL at audiometric frequencies.
