The response of the ear varies with frequency, showing a maximum at a particular frequency. Suggest a physical phenomenon which could lead to this type of behaviour?

Q) What phenomenon can lead to a maximum amplification of the ear drum?
A) The ear being subjected to it's 'natural frequency',causing maximum oscillations to occur.
Don't know if this is the correct answer, the question is ambiguous. Hope this helps.

The Doppler Effect: -
As the ambulance approached, the sound of its siren increased until, as it reached me, the sound was ear-piercing.
As the vehicle sped away, the sound diminished again until it disappeared.
