House Frequency Spectrum vs. Pink Noise
Five House records measured against pink noise, every track gain-matched to -14 LUFS:
- Disclosure “She’s Gone, Dance On”
- Sonny Fodera “Somedays”
- CINTHIE “Piano Heaven”
- Peggy Gou “(It Goes Like) Nanana”
- Solardo “Forever”
House puts its weight in the bass rather than the sub: 60–250 Hz is the loudest region at 8 dB over pink, while the sub itself varies a lot from track to track. The kick lands at 41–76 Hz and is the loudest single part in the set. From the low mids up the balance tapers gently to about 5 dB under pink in the air, with a moderately wide stereo image through the mids and highs.
