Reply to comment by ----_________------ in I don't get the "frequency response graph" thing. by ICrySaI

>simplifying it to "loudness at different frequencies" is not quite right.

Is there something else it's showing that I'm not aware of? X-axis shows frequencies and Y-axis shows decibels. "Loudness at different frequencies" seems like exactly what the graph is showing.

for the most part, yes, but there are other things that come into play. elevated treble can sometimes create a sense of detail, certain peaks can mask surrounding frequencies, etc. Truth is, there are a lot of things that seem not related to loudness at different frequencies but actually are.

But they are related to loudness at different frequencies, though. Even how we perceive transient response is related to loudness at certain frequencies, which is why things like impulse response aren't so useful.

i think we are agreeing, but theres a slight misunderstanding. I interpreted his saying of "loudness at different frequencies" as how he used graphs. I thought he meant basic stuff like "oh, theres more bass", which is true but limited in use. i agree with your statements tho, it technically is loudness at different frequencies, but interpreting graphs can go (a little) beyond that
