Exactly right, Bob. Indeed, TIME difference between sound arrival at the 
two ears is the primary determinant of the direction of a sound. It is 
FAR more important than loudness. This is the basis of the best of the 
stereo sound patents, by Bell Labs c.a. 1936. It depends on spaced 
microphones and spaced loudspeakers.
