      God, you're f.o.s., UR



      Human hearing is a superior defensive system in every respect except source location accuracy. Note: Jourdain (page 23) states that human accuracy is 1-2 degrees in azimuth.

        Other sources appear to give it as around 5 degrees

          Go into a patch of woods in the summer. See if you can find where the closest cicada is by hearing alone.
          Funny, I used to do this all the time with grasshoppers.

          Caught a hell of a lot of them that way. Frogs too.

          All you have to do is listen...

              I can't believe you're actually asserting that you can't locate something based on sound if you have two working ears.

              Maybe your brain is not as capable as the rest of ours.

                    It's a bad sign when you use the word "think" of your computer.

                      That's because the trees echo the sound, so it seems to come from all directions....
