True enough. But probably best to otherwise for us to ignore Fletcher-Munsen curves as it bears no relevance to the perception of music, only to sine waves.
This is a good point because from what I understand an instrument playing the same note but at different loudness are not identical, even if corrected for loudness.
I guess this is why it is possible to tune instruments by ear perfectly (if trained for pitch-loudness) even with different loudness/strength-amplitude of the note played.
Discussions on Fletcher-Munsen curves never seem to investigate the implications-behaviour when applied to real complex soundwaves such as that from instruments.
Roger, I only have limited articles on this (pitch-loudness perception specifically relating to complex soundwaves and Fletcher-Munsen curve/sinewaves) but if you have any worth sharing please do, is really an important and interesting subject.
Thanks
