## masking_overlap.jpg The image is a graph that represents sound level (in decibels) on the vertical axis and frequency (in Hertz) on the horizontal axis. The graph shows two bars: one labeled "Masker" and another labeled "Signal." - **Masker Bar**: This bar is positioned at a higher frequency than the Signal bar, indicating it has a higher pitch. Its height represents its sound level in decibels. - **Signal Bar**: This bar is positioned at a lower frequency compared to the Masker bar, suggesting it has a lower pitch. The height of this bar also indicates its sound level in decibels. The graph visually demonstrates how the Signal might be masked by the Masker due to their different frequencies and levels. The higher-frequency Masker could potentially obscure or make it difficult for someone to hear the lower-frequency Signal, especially if the Masker is louder than the Signal at that frequency range.
