Disregard my original comment, I misread the comment above, and mine is a poor and incorrect explanation>!Yeah it all combines together through the fourier transform. The movement of the driver is a sum of its frequencies, and even if the driver seems to be moving up and down in a simple pattern, it is doing that as a result of the different frequencies all adding together. Your ear is able to take that sound and through a reverse of the same fourier transform equation, each individual frequency is separated and heard individually!<

That's not exactly what a Fourier transform means but you are on the right track for sure.

Thanks. I know it's a math equation that I really don't understand. Hoping to learn as much as possible, but yeah my understanding is definitely limited

If you are curious, I highly recommend these 2 videos. The first one gives a high-level explanation and the second one dives in a bit deeper. You absolutely do not need to fully understand the math to understand the concept in general btw.
