Howdy, Andy. Another interesting effect (don't remember what they call it) is that at certain high frequencies, subjects tend to report that the frequency changes as the volume changes, when in reality the volume is all that changes. Hmm, I bet there was a way to say that with half as many words... But regardless, I would personally never touch this phenomenon in my own experiments, it's just too slippery.

One thing you might like to look at is the Fletcher Munsen curve. There isn't a hard mathematical relationship between perceived amplitude (loudness) and frequency, it's more of a biological and psychoacoustic effect, and somewhat subjective between listeners. http://ccrma.stanford.edu/CCRMA/Courses/SummerWorkshops/96/Psychoacoustics/labs/loudness/ The Pd solution to this is to use lookup tables to scale amplitude, a bit less fiddly than setting up a piecewise function.
