A high pitch sound has8/8/2023 In this article, we will explore how your brain gathers information from your ears and uses that information to determine where a sound is coming from. Creators of movies and video games use these cues to trick our minds-that is, to give us the illusion that certain sounds are coming from specific directions. If it hits both ears at the same time, it likely originated from directly in front or behind you. For example, if the sound hits your right ear first, it likely originated to the right of your body. Two of these cues are (1) which ear the sound hits first, and (2) how loud the sound is when it reaches each ear. Have you ever wondered how, with just two ears, we are able to locate sounds coming from all around us?

Our minds determine where sound is coming from using multiple cues.
