Our sense of hearing is able to focus on a particular sound in between many others (see the “cocktail party effect”) <ref>Arons, B. (1992). A review of the cocktail party effect. Journal of the American Voice I/O society, 12(7), 35-50.</ref> based on timbre. Our auditory system can process information at a far higher rate than our visual system. For example, while video typically updates at 60 frames per second (60 Hz), standard audio is sampled at 44,100 times per second (44.1 kHz). This means that even a single, brief spike in an audio signal—lasting just one sample—is instantly perceived as a distinct "click." As a result, hearing allows us to monitor multiple layers of information simultaneously, often more efficiently than through visual perception alone <ref>Kramer, G., Walker, B. N., Bonebright, T., Cook, P., Flowers, J., Miner, N., et al. (1999). The Sonification Report: Status of the Field and Research Agenda.
