Franssen effect

The Franssen effect is an auditory illusion where the listener incorrectly localizes a sound.

The left speaker suddenly begins to produce a sharp pure tone.

The left one is decreased exponentially, and the right speaker becomes the main source of the sound.

At the beginning of the presentation, loudspeaker 1 emits a pure tone with a steep attacking slope.

This mislocalization remains, even if the test supervisor plugs off the cables of loudspeaker 1 demonstratively.
