This would be a really intereesting assignment question. Have you ever thought you heard what you thought was someone speaking and then realised it was a bird, or a car engine, or the sea, or the wind in the leaves, or nothing at all? Once the brain is involved, the answer involves mostly psychology, not acoustics. Anthea |
