Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The human auditory system uses both differences in intensity (loudness) and timing (arrival time) of sounds between the two ears to localize sound direction. Differences in frequency (pitch) are not typically used for sound localization. Therefore, option D, "both intensity and timing are correct," is the best choice.
