That's not nonlinearity, that's just due to not having identical test conditions. If you move the measuring microphone even an inch a lot can change, as I'm sure you know. Nonlinearity usually means distortion is added to the sound.

the human perception of the acoustics varies greatly with the SPL.
Of course, Fletcher-Munson at work. But 1) I did't think we were talking about human perception, and 2) that's not nonlinearity either.
