Question: For a normal hearing listener with thresholds of 0 dB HL at audiometric frequencies, which would be perceived as louder, a 50 dB SPL tone at 125 Hz or a 40 dB SPL tone at 1000 Hz? Why?
Asked by ace
The 40 dB SPL tone at 1000 Hz would be perceived as louder because as the frequency increases, a lesser intensity is needed to produce the same loudness level. This is due to the loudness curve, which takes into account our decreased sensitivity to low frequencies.
