Fluctuation strength requires at least 3 dB modulation depth before it rises

Evidence

According to the results displayed in Fig. 10.3, fluctuation strength is zero until a modulation depth of about 3 dB, after which it increases approximately linearly with the logarithm of modulation depth. To produce the maximum fluctuation strength of either sound, a modulation depth of at least 30 dB (modulation factor 94%) is necessary. Above that modulation depth, fluctuation strength remains constant at its maximal value. — Professor Dr.-Ing. Hugo Fastl, Professor Dr.-Ing. Eberhard, Psychoacoustics- Facts and Models, 1393
