The reason why it is difficult to tell whether a sound source is directly in front of you or behind is that the ears respond equally from either location.
What is sound localization?
Sound localization refers to the ability of a person to detect where a sound originates from. Often, people find it hard to tell where a sound is originating from because their ears are designed to respond to sound equal.
So, no matter where the sound comes from, the ears simply detect a sound but cannot really tell where it comes from. Balance also helps to promote this feature.
