Introduction Even people with normal hearing may have difficulties locating a sound source in unfavorable sound environments where competitive noise is intense. Objective To develop, describe, validate and establish the normality curve of the sound localization test. Method The sample consisted of 100 healthy subjects with normal hearing, > 18 years old, who agreed to participate in the study. The sound localization test was applied after the subjects underwent a tonal audiometry exam. For this purpose, a calibrated free field test environment was set up. Then, 30 random pure tones were presented in 2 speakers placed at 45° (on the right and on the left sides of the subject), and the noise was presented from a 3rd speaker, placed at 180°. The noise was presented in 3 hearing situations: optimal listening condition (no noise), noise in relation to 0 dB, and noise in relation to - 10 dB. The subject was asked to point out the side where the pure tone was being perceived, even in the presence of noise. Results All of the 100 participants performed the test in an average time of 99 seconds. The average score was 21, the medium score was 23, and the standard deviation was 3.05. Conclusion The sound localization test proved to be easy to set-up and to apply. The results obtained in the validation of the test suggest that individuals with normal hearing should locate 70% of the presented stimuli. The test can constitute an important instrument in the measurement of noise interference in the ability to locate the sound.

“…In addition, few studies have focused on the difference in discriminating musical notes between the gender of the participants (Silva et al, 2014). This study, in fact, intended to discuss the effects of alcohol on auditory perception regarding the discrimination of specific sound frequencies that socially correspond to musical notes.…”

This study compared young adult men and women regarding the discrimination of musical notes following acute ingestion of alcohol. It included 20 men and 20 women aged 18 -30 years (women: M ϭ 21.95, SD ϭ 3.14; men: M ϭ 21.65, SD ϭ 2.73). This was a discrimination test of musical notes through the psychophysical forced-choice method, in which participants had to choose between two alternatives: the musical note that contained the sound frequency related to note D, F, or A, after the presentation of a standard sound frequency. The results showed significant differences between groups when comparing men and women after the ingestion of alcohol only in the D note. We found also significant differences in the comparison group of women under the influence of alcohol with each other, in the D note, and the group of men under the influence of alcohol among themselves in the F note. These results suggest that acute alcohol ingestion can change the auditory perception of men and women regarding discriminating specific musical notes (sound frequencies).
