Re: Check out these graphs. My room sucks all the bass!


The dip at ~100Hz is a boundary cancellation between the mic and the floor. If you change the height of your measurement, you're going to see this dip move up and down with frequency (higher up = lower in frequency and vice versa).

The reason you don't hear these huge dips is because the program is measuring the steady state response of the room, while your ears are hearing the transient state. In other words, you are hearing the full sound for the few ms before it cancels itself out.
