Lateralization and the binaural masking-level difference
G. Bruce Henning · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1974
Observers can readily detect interaural delays in certain complex waveforms even when the energy in the waveform is confined to high-frequency regions. However, the detectability of such complex waveforms is not measurably dependent on interaural phase—that is, there is no masking-level difference with high-frequency signals in spite of the fact that interaural phase effects are readily observed as changes in the apparent location of the source of the signal.
