Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By varying the arrival time at each ear, the brain is able to calculate the location of the sound source based on the small difference in time it takes for the sound to reach each ear. This is also known as binaural hearing and helps to create the perception of spatial location and distance of sound sources. Varying arrival time does not affect the pitch, intensity or meaning of the sound.
