Speculations about noise and the evolution of vertebrate hearing

Two of the most conspicuous and celebrated properties of human hearing--the abilities to discriminate pitch and to localize sound sources, may have been secondary derivations to which the ear was preadapted by having evolved in the inevitable presence of noise.
