Usually it's because log-log paper is what there is, and it's what
people have always used for plotting responses. Look at a product
data sheet and that's how you'll see it plotted.

Which is decidedly NOT because that was all the paper they had!
It's because they chose log-log to best suit the required purpose, just as
everyone else does.
Surely you understand the reason is because of the logarithmic response of
the human auditory system to both frequency and SPL?


Mostly it's because one of those things that engineers came up with
because it makes the arithmetic easier to do, and today with pocket
calculators people don't really care so much about making everything
fall into nice easy numbers any more.

Ignore my question above, obviously you don't.
