Did you ever understand the smiley face? Boosting the far ends where the bands they are boosting are sub and super sonic and doing nothing to the frequencies the ear can actually hear?



I don't know about you, but I hear just fine in nearly the entire audible band, and graphic audio EQs are manipulating the audio spectrum, not sub and supersonic (technically below 20 Hz and above 20,000 Hz).

The 'Loudness' button on many stereos is doing the low side of the smiley face for you. It's a matter of the equal loudness perception (look up fletcher munson curves) that is at play when listening at lower levels. It takes more juice in the low and high ends to sound similar to mids.
