Directional qualities of spatial sound systems are studied with a binaural model of human direction perception. The evaluated spatial sound systems are pairand triplet-wise panning and firstand second-order Ambisonics.

A binaural recording, realized inside an autobus running according to a typical urban sequence, has been used in several ways : first of all, listeners had to continuously assess the annoyance of the using the categorical continuous method, introduced by Weber for the assessment of loudness. It has been proved that this task is achievable by listeners, even if it is a difficult one. This evalua...
