Wouldn't it depend on the level at which the user played back the file?

Subject: [mp3encoder] Psychoacoustic models and frequency response of
theears

Hi everybody!

There is one thing I've been thinking about regarding the psychoacoustic 
models used in MPEG Audio. Do the models know about the equal-loudness 
curves or do they assume that your ears have a flat frequency response? I 
have studied both models described in the standard document (ISO/IEC 
11172-3) and it seems to me that the models assume (apart from the ATH) that

the frequency response of the ears is flat. Am I correct? If so, could 
putting a stuitable filter just before the psychoacoustic models improve the

sound quality?

Thanks for any responses to my thoughts!
