Right, I wouldn't call F-M curves "psycho-acoustic" as your knowledge or lack of it has no bearing on the perception. It's more of an ear-sensitivity issue.
If you remember equipment with a "loudness" switch, or dial, they were meant to compensate for this known effect, and some speakers are deliberately tweaked along those lines to make it seem like you hear more detail at lower volumes. Well, you DO hear more detail, but it also means at higher volumes you get exaggerated treble and/or bass. :)
Best,
