Resonance frequencies produce longer build-up and decay than off-resonance

Evidence

At the resonance frequencies, the build-up and decay time of the system response is usually larger than between the resonant frequencies. For example, the impulse response corresponding to the magnitude response of the body, shown in Figure 6.2, is so long that the ear perceives it as a sort of reverberation. The impulse response is shown in Figure 6.3. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 660
