I'm a psychologist undergoing metamorphosis into a cognitive neuroscientist. Currently, my work revolves around how the brain responds to statistical regularities in the world. I create these regularities using different sounds, so knowing about auditory perception is also part of my job. In the past, I spent a year dabbling in psychology of individual differences, and intelligence remains a topic of interest for me. I also indulge in parenting, cooking and photography.

Thank you, this is a great answer! I realized later that I could have considered changing the tones themselves before saving them into a wav file (I use Matlab to generate them; they are sinoids with slight rise/fall times on the edges; Audacity doesn't allow me to know how the tones are exactly made mathematically which is a problem for publication). I believe I can just up the amplitude on the lower tones, going from the calculations that you've made here.

@Magrangs, 'Presentation' is difficult to google, I know :) Here it is. And thanks so much for that hyperphysics link!

I'm afraid I don't even know what that means. But a quick search through the program documentation doesn't point to a command that contains 'eq'.
