Low-Q resonances are most often excited by music and most audible

Evidence

Resonances in loudspeakers are unwanted, and it is one of the prime challenges of loudspeaker designers to eliminate them because they radiate throughout the room. Toole and Olive (1988) describes the background history of research in this area and adds considerably to it. The goal is to define in technical, measurable terms reliable evidence of audible resonances in loudspeakers. What was found confirmed existing evidence that it is the low-Q resonances that are most frequently stimulated by music, making them most easily heard by our auditory systems. — Toole, Floyd E, Sound reproduction- the acoustics and…, 495
