Hearing

[Trevor Dinn]

I was wondering if anyone knew the capabilities of the human ear to distinguish one sound over an other and to be able tell direction, distance etc . In particular the sound of a emergency vehicle (fire-truck) siren over the background sound of traffic, car engine, car radio etc.
