Higher noise levels reduce sensitivity to cut-off frequency changes

Evidence

It is interesting to realize that the just-noticeable difference in cut-off frequency increases with increasing level for low-pass noise (see left part of Fig. 7.12), but that just-noticeable difference in cut-off frequency for high-pass noise remains independent of level (see right part of Fig. 7.12). — Professor Dr.-Ing.
