One cue your hearing system uses to localize a sound (i.e., to tell where a sound is coming from) is the slight difference in the arrival times of the sound at your ears. Your ears are spaced approximately 17.1cm apart. Consider a sound source 4.22m from the center of your head along a line 82.7° to your right. What is the difference in arrival times? Assume the velocity of sound is 343.0m/s.
