Should the peak level change based on octave banding for a sinewave
I have a 1 KHz tone playing at 85 dBSPL which is monitored on a real time analyzer. I noticed that the level is just about 85 dBSPL on all settings of octave banding, ie, 1 octave all the way to 1/48 ...

Step response of IIR lowpass filter using GNU octave
Some years ago, I had a little tool in FORTRAN and GNUplot output, which was able to plot the step response of an IIR lowpass filter, starting which the location of the poles. Now, this tool is lost ...

How can I convert a 1/3rd octave spectrum into a linear spectrum for use as a frequency response?
I have a one-third octave spectrum with 23 frequencies, and I want to use it as a frequency response to filter another spectrum, however that spectrum is specified linear with 2049 points. I know I ...
