sound source identification

Sound source identification is the process of determining where a sound is coming from. It involves analyzing audio signals to figure out the location, nature, or origin of the sound—whether it's a person speaking, a machine operating, or an animal. Our brain naturally performs this by using cues like the difference in sound timing and volume between our ears. In technology, algorithms and sensors mimic this ability to pinpoint sound sources in environments such as surveillance, hearing aids, or robotics. Essentially, it helps us or machines understand and locate sounds in our surroundings accurately.
