Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interaural level differences refer to the difference in loudness between the two ears, which is due to the sound shadow created by the head. This also affects the frequency distribution of the sound. Choice B, binaural loudness distributions, is not a commonly used term, and choice C, the trapezoid of confusion, refers to a visual perception concept in psychology, not related to auditory perception. Choice D, the amplitude-frequency tradeoff, refers to the fact that the ear's ability to detect amplitude changes decreases at higher frequencies.
