Can't say this enough. The smoothing value is extremely important. Most people with a middle school education know about different axes ranges being misleading, but even very reputable folks do't brin it up in their reviews. Thanks.
This is very much needed! People are so lost without these things being discussed. It took me a long time to under stand basic stuff because I only had my own interpretation to go off, didn’t have time to read books, and find out they could be wrong anyways
Glad you like the video! I've noticed in online forums that it is extremely common for beginners to neglect the Y-axis when looking at frequency response graphs of their own rooms. After a quick search, I was surprised that the videos on this subject are mostly talking about frequency response graphs for microphones and headphones. While those graphs aren't that different than the ones from a room, I thought it would be good to explain it in a room acoustics/audio engineering kind of angle!
BRAVO on bringing up smoothing! Almost none of the quite knowledgeable stremers include what smoothing was used. This is nearly a crime. I'm trying to learn from these people and I can't compare mine with theirs because almost NOBODY includes the smoothing value. Again--thands here for bringing it up.
This is helpful information, but it still doesn’t answer what I think is one of the most common questions and that is what is the baseline ? in other words, what is the threshold level that no frequencies should be going over? Is it based on the level you tested at? And if yes, does that mean if I test it at 80 spl, then anything over 80 spl on the graph is excessive?
Just to be picky here, it might be better not to refer to those various different scaled and smoothed things as different graphs. They are graphing the same data with different *REPRESENTATIONS*. Agree with the rest. Oldie engineer here ;)
Thank you so much for stopping by! I seriously appreciate it :)

Zoom out Y-axis and apply smoothing to feel better about yourself through trying to impress strangers online of your superior audio, gotcha
Or for more sensationalized marketing...
Awesome video! I hope you get more recognition, cool guy :)
I really appreciate sharing your knowledge with us
The majority of frequency response measurements of jbl for example are in 1/12 oct smoothing even it is make in anechoic chamber
Hi James thanks for this insight. 😊

Anyone who don’t know graph 😂😂😂 then don’t read it😅😅😅
