Recently, it has been proposed that the black hole greybody factors can be important to model ringdown spectral amplitudes. We study the stability of greybody factors against a small-bump correction in the perturbation equation. We find (I) that the greybody factor is stable in the frequency region relevant to ringdown and (II) that it is destabilized at higher frequencies, especially for a sharper bump correction. This behavior is similar to the case of higher overtones, which is also very sensitive to a small correction. We clarify this (in)stability with the WKB analysis. As the greybody factor is stable at the frequency region relevant to the main part of ringdown, we conclude that the greybody factor is suitable to model ringdown amplitude. In order to investigate a bump correction in a self-consistent manner, we consider the small-bump correction that can be realized in the general framework of effective field theory of black hole perturbations.
