Psychoacoustics

Psychoacoustics is the scientific study of how humans perceive sound. Differences in pitch, loudness, and timing all impact our perception of noises around us. For instance, psychoacoustics explains why a car passing by seems to change in pitch. It's not just about what sounds physically exist, but how our brains interpret and make sense of these sounds. It's used in many fields, including music, audio engineering, and healthcare to enhance our understanding of sound and improve sound-related technologies.
