    Biden’s mic was EQed to pick up as much low end and high end ambient noise as possible.

    No. The mic is EQed that way so you can actually hear the low and high parts of his voice. The human ear is most sensitive to the mid range as it amplifies those frequencies, and the majority of our voice also lies in the midrange. You can see this if you look at the frequency response curve of headphones, the midrange is always boosted to replicate what our ear does, it’s called pinna gain. The Harman target is a good example of this. If Biden’s mic was EQed flat, you wouldn’t be able to hear the low or high parts of his voice. If Biden sounds like an old man, it’s because he is one.
