  2. Human echolocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echolocation

    Human echolocation is the ability of humans to detect objects in their environment by sensing echoes from those objects, by actively creating sounds: for example, by tapping their canes, lightly stomping their foot, snapping their fingers, or making clicking noises with their mouths.

  5. Soundscape ecology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundscape_ecology

    Soundscape ecology is the study of the acoustic relationships between living organisms, human and other, and their environment, whether the organisms are marine or terrestrial. First appearing in the Handbook for Acoustic Ecology edited by Barry Truax , in 1978, [ 1 ] the term has occasionally been used, sometimes interchangeably, with the term ...

  6. Sound localization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_localization

    Human ears are on different sides of the head, and thus have different coordinates in space. As shown in the duplex theory figure, since the distances between the acoustic source and ears are different, there are time difference and intensity difference between the sound signals of two ears.

    This puts the power of humans in a somewhat similar class with the meteorite that crashed into Earth 66 million years ago, killing off dinosaurs and starting the Cenozoic Era, or what is ...

  8. Echolocation jamming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echolocation_jamming

    Humans may jam echolocating animals deliberately or accidentally. Recent efforts have been made to develop acoustic jamming deterrents to exclude bats from buildings or bridges, or to keep bats away from wind turbines where large numbers of mortalities occur. [29] These deterrents have been shown to reduce bat activity over a small area.
