I was not thinking about pure tones, when i was referring to a ring i was thinking more like ringing of a bell or a triangle real loud, vs playing the lowest registers of an organ (better than a piano or standing base, because of the lower HF content. the bell or triangle will have an almost continuous Fourier transform in the HF region, the low freq pipe organ will have a pretty simple spectrum. Even though the pipe organ will have a larger volume, its digitized waveform will compress much better. If you start playing with synthesized tones, things will become very different.dee
