Auditory illusion

An auditory illusion is an illusion of hearing, the sound equivalent of an optical illusion: the listener hears either sounds which are not present in the stimulus, or "impossible" sounds.

Examples of auditory illusions:

• the Shepard tone
• hearing a missing fundamental[?] frequency, given other parts of the harmonic series
