Audio illusions show us that hearing is about more than just sensing frequency.

Many of us are familiar with that 'phantom' low note effect from telephone tones, some of which are actually produced by playing two higher frequency tones so that we will hear the beat frequency.

I wasn't actually 'fooled' by any of the illusions, but was a bit surprised that the two similar tones, one in each ear, didn't give the beat (at all for me, though my brain was clearly confused about why not), though the bear/fair thing always works. I was a bit surprised by that absence of any mention of reflected sound, particularly regarding positional recognition. It's actually quite importent, particularly to the extent that many blind people make use of a certain amount of echo-location when finding their way around.

Gordon, good point about the 'reflections'. That instrument presumably relies on the massive echo acoustics of its location to deliver reverb, resonance and more.

It would possibly sound completely different in a different environment.

I was thinking much more of our ability to jufge sound distance and direction. We pick up all sorts of clues from various types and times of reflections.

The organ will reflect all over the place, though probably does need a very large space to be at its best.
Hmm, actually that organ needs a large space, whatever.

Cool video, thanks for posting. Am aware that my brain "hears" things that aren't there, some of which are covered in the video. Fun to see the science behind it.
