    so basically covering + or - one standard deviation from the mean average in a normal distribution? That's 68%

    Also I'm curious about the testing / surveying methods. How can you test tonal preference without accounting for confounding variables like distortion, listening level, and spectral decay?

    He mentioned using eq knobs. Said that sound isn't that subjective, most people prefer the same thing frequency response wise if you remove the other variables

    Designed to be pleasing to as much of the general population as possible? Same can be said of instant coffee and McDonald's ;)

    Sound isn't subjective = sure. Perception thereof, though?

    Does this 64% include those with tinnitus, hearing loss, etc? Or on the flip side maybe trained musicians, golden ears, etc?

    Another topic that I find slightly curious is how slightly resembles the average "equal-loudness" curve (ignoring degradation with age).
