The Located Event Theory of Casati and Dokic: "sounds are located at their sources, and are identical with, or at least supervene on, the relevant physical processes in them"
"[a] principle of classification of metaphysical theories of sounds can be based on the alleged location each theory assigns to sounds"

sound moves through space because it is the transferal of physical force; there is an "essential spatio-temporal dynamism of sound"

Enumerates some useful features of sound:
heard in 3D simultaneously.
tends to produce a state of alertness.
is detected far earlier than a visual signal.
The above aided and abetted by the fact that humans are "extremely sensitive to changes in an acoustic signal over time."
"The combination of veridical spatial cues with good principles of iconic design could provide an extremely powerful and information-rich display that is also quite easy to use."
"...the primary difficulties for synthesizing spatial information in virtual acoustic displays will be ensuring reliable elevation discrimination and the elimination or, at least, minimization of reversals."
A survey of the current (1992) state of localization research in acoustics.
Critique of the duplex theory (IID and ITD) and mention of the filtering effect of the pinna in both azimuth and elevation detection when combined with duplex theory.
In-head localisation (IHL) over headphones; listeners fail to externalise sound. Externalisation may be aided by the addition of environmental cues while familiarity with the sound (its frequency specturm) may also help.
Discussion on distance perception -- humans are poor at it.
