Dynamic collective phenomena prevail in networked systems across physics, biology and engineering. How external signals generate distributed responses patterns in such systems fundamentally underlies their function, yet is far from fully understood. Here we analyze the collective response patterns of oscillatory networks to fluctuating input signals. For an arbitrary network topology, we analytically find distinct response patterns to fall into three distinct frequency regimes: homogeneous responses across the network at low frequencies, topology-dependent resonances at intermediate frequencies and are frequency-dependent, localized responses at high frequencies. These results render regime-specific implications for real-world network design and control, in particular for transport and supply networks, e.g. electric power grids.
