Narrow-bandwidth equalization causes filters to ring audibly in time
Evidence
Because a filter is required in an equalizer, the latter also has the same time domain effects that filters have, as discussed earlier. This is particularly noticeable when narrow-bandwidth equalization is used, as the associated filter can “ring,” as shown in Figures 1.62 and 1.63, for a considerable length of time in both boost and cut modes. — David M.
