Yes, if both of your ears are free, then you should be able to detect the direction from which a sound is coming. Your brain detects direction of sound by the minute difference in volume of sound and the slight delay in sound reaching one ear if your head is turned away from the sound source. ;

- If one of your ears were fully plugged, you would not be able to detect the direction of the sound without turning your head. If the sound is more or less continuous, however, you would turn your head and by the differences in volume, determine the sound source. ;

- By the way, if the sound source is moving, you should also be able to detect the direction it is moving the the rising or falling pitch of the sound. To test this out, stand by a railway crossing when a train is approaching while blowing it's whistle. The pitch of the whistle will change as the train approaches and again as it retreats from your position. Does the pitch rise or fall as the train approaches? ;

Yes, you can use spatial cues to help determine the direction of a sound source when blindfolded. Your brain processes subtle differences in volume, timing, and frequency of the sound reaching each of your ears to help localize where the sound is coming from. With practice, you can improve your ability to pinpoint the origin of various sounds.

Yes, you can determine where the sound is coming from when you are blindfolded. When one ear is fully plugged you may not be able to determine where the sound is coming from when blindfolded.

yes because if you really love listening and focusing into the song that is playing then you can identify it even when where you are as long as you are paying attention to it

Can you tell where a spacific sound came from if you're blindfolded?

Human hearing, when it is normal, can allow a blindfolded person to detect the general direction a sound is coming from. The brain can detect the slight time difference between when the sound is detected by one ear and when that sound is detected by the other ear. It should also be noted that at lower sound frequency, human hearing is less able to accurately detect the direction of a sound. That's why a single subwoofer speaker can be used in a sound system while pairs of speakers are the norm for recreating stereo or 3D sound.

Can you tell where sound is coming from blind folded?

In most of the cases you tell the same with some practice. You will be confused only when the sound comes exactly perpendicular to both the ears. In that case you may not be able to tell whether the sound is coming from front or back.
