I've tried playing a continually increasing tone of constant amplitude that=
 I created in Audacity. Is that what you mean? The perceived volume goes up=
 and down as it increases, mostly down from memory, although I wasn't conce=
ntrating on the low end much. That's what made me suspect that the "hump" i=
s a perceived one. I've never tried it on different headphones to compare t=
hough.
