Logarithmic Scale Question I just have a small theoretical question that buggers me to be honest. 

I have a sound file that I found its spectrum on linear and on logarithmic scale. Alright, I have done this, it's a plain standard procedure. The problem is that I cant really understand the plot on logarithmic scale. (it just looks like a typical logarithmic plot with dB, and it is correct by the way) . 

Well, the visual differences are obvious, the linear plot frequencies are quite scattered and they peak in a non homogenous way, while I notice that on log scale the frequencies peaks are very close to each other and they don't seem to have so many extreme values. Could someone explain me this a bit ?





Cheers
The meaning of the logarithmic plot is that the signal power above 250 Hz is about ${10^{-10}}$ times less that the starting values (most of the power is concentrated at the lowest frequencies), so it's almost zero. The capability of a logarithmic plot is to show both, the high and low values at the same time, specially useful in acoustic field. The negative aspect is the visual distortion of the signal, you must always keep in mind that what are you looking at is a logarithmic plot.
