The Gestalt principles apply to hearing just as well as they do to vision. The principle of figure-ground organizes sounds into foreground (figure) and background (ground), just as it does with visual images. The principles of proximity, continuity, and similarity also apply to hearing. For example, sounds that are similar in pitch, timbre, or duration tend to be perceived as belonging together, even if they come from different sources.
