auditory scene

An auditory scene refers to the complex acoustic environment around us, composed of multiple sounds originating from different sources, such as voices, music, or background noise. Our brain processes these overlapping sounds simultaneously, helping us identify and focus on specific sounds—like a conversation in a noisy room—by filtering and segregating auditory information. This ability to interpret and make sense of multiple sound sources constitutes the auditory scene, enabling us to navigate and respond effectively to our environment.
