The fact that sounds are localized in reverberant surroundings points up a critical problem
which has not been explored sufficiently. A brief description will be given of experiments we …

Auditory localization was studied in a room bounded by a single acoustically reflective
surface. The position of that surface was varied so as to simulate a floor, a ceiling, and a left …

These so-called primary cues for sound localization convey merely the angular distance of
the given sound from the median plane or, more conveniently, from the axis of the ears. This …

This paper is concerned with the localization of sources of sounds by human listeners in
rooms. It presents the results of source‐identification experiments designed to determine …

The steady‐state sound field of a sine tone does not provide useful localization information
in a room. Nevertheless, listeners can localize a sine tone in a room if it has an onset …

The Franssen effect is an illusion that causes human listeners to make large errors in
localizing a sound source. This paper describes steps taken to convert the illusion into an …

When two binaural sounds are presented with a brief delay between them, and are
perceived as a single auditory event, the localization of that event is determined largely by …

Investigated the ability of listeners to locate sound in the vertical plane. Results showed that
for auditory stimuli to be located accurately (1) the stimulus must be complex,(2) it must …

Psychoacoustic measurements with observers who were stimulated at both ears with
identical narrow band signals yielded the following results: The sound sensations of the …

The results of the three experiments support the conclusion that the localization of tones
below about 1500 cps is determined largely by interaural time differences. For frequencies …
