Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High frequency sounds produce a weaker signal in the ear farthest away from the sound source due to the head creating a "sound shadow," which makes it harder for these sounds to bend around the head to reach the far ear. This effect aids in sound localization by providing cues based on the intensity difference between ears.
