MUST BE LISTENED TO WITH HEADPHONES OR IT WILL NOT WORK!
This audio clip sounds as if you are in a barber shop getting a haircut. It sounds very convincing if listened to with your eye closed. Because of binaural hearing, we are able to gauge the directions of sounds in an environment. Binaural hearing works due to the location of our ears. Since they are on opposite sides of the head, sounds will vary in timing, volume, frequency, and balance. For example, if a sound comes from the right, the right ear will receive the sound a few milliseconds before the left ear, allowing us to identify that the sound is coming from the right. The audio clip uses these factors to facilitate the experience of getting a haircut.
