Low-frequency auditory stimuli are built from harmonic complexes with 100 Hz fundamentals.

Evidence

The low-frequency stimulus was a spectrally shaped multicomponent complex (SSMC), which was a harmonic complex with a fundamental frequency (F 0 ) of 100 Hz. The spectral envelope had a flat passband and sloping edges (5×F 0 centered at 1100 Hz). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1039
