Categorical loudness of the pink noise stimuli as a function of sound pressure level for all six bandwidths tested. The shading shows the standard deviation across listeners. Note that the nonlinearity in perceived loudness is at its maximum for the stimulus with a medium bandwidth of 1,500 Hz. The pictograms in each plot show sections of 200 ms duration of the corresponding signal.
