Abstract
A proper physical foundation of acoustics is essential for understanding the generation and transmission of sound. With respect to simulation and auralization, however, humans as the final recipient of sound, are the final authorities on sound quality, comfort or annoyance. Basic knowledge about the human hearing system, its anatomy and neurophysiology will, thus, give significant insight into the way auralization must be organized and programmed, how exact it must be, which acoustic aspects are essential and which can be neglected in modelling.
