Abstract

The purpose of this study is to make clear that the relationship between the directional properties of late arriving sound and listener envelopment (LEV). Psycho-acoustical experiments are performed with an objective measure of inter-aural cross-correlation(IACC) in order In predict whether LEV is perceived equally in two kinds of sound fields with horizontal or vertical component of late arriving sound. It is found that LEV is affected by not horizontal component of late arriving sound but also vertical one.
