To elicit a neural response from an auditory receptor, different frequencies have been shown to require different intensities. If you plotted the relationship between tone frequency and the minimum signal intensity necessary to elicit a neural response, you would have what is called a(an)

The relationship between tone frequency and the minimum signal intensity necessary to elicit a neural response is represented by a frequency tuning curve. This curve illustrates how auditory receptors (such as hair cells in the cochlea) are tuned to respond to different frequencies at specific intensities.
