No. One octave higher is a doubling of Hz. One octave lower is a halving
of Hz. It means that 50% is scaled closer to 100% than it is to 0%.
Similar to a transition from color to full alpha in a gradient. Somewhat
like the below scale where every 50% step (of the prior octave / vector
between points) is doubled.
