They're talking about determining the origin of a sound. They're saying if a sound originates from anywhere on the line of the cone shape it becomes impossible to decipher where it originated accurately. Humans actually have decent vertical echolocation, but just like dogs do when they're trying to vertically echolocate we can also just face the approximate sound origin and tilt our heads to improve echolocation accuracy because our brains use the difference in elevation between our left and right ears to pinpoint the sound's location.
You have elevated me to the plane of understanding, thank you!
Fun fact since one of my ears doesn’t work I can’t echolocate :’)))
Have you considered giving it a raise? ^(ba^ ^dum^ ^tsss)^
Cool explanation, but that's not what echolocation means
i assume replacing "echo" with "audio" or other term that means sound would work?
echo means you create the sound and listen for a echo back.
