The frequency range between 1000 Hz and 3000 Hz is the most difficult for us to localize because it corresponds to the region where our ears are most sensitive to sound. The wavelength of these sounds is small enough that it does not produce significant differences in timing and level between the ears, which are the cues we use for localizing sound. As a result, sounds within this frequency range can be difficult to localize accurately.
