If you are on the ground among buildings, there will be no way to predict direction from sound, because you will be hearing echoes from the buildings. I was surprised one time near Boeing Field when an airplane was taking off, and the sound was coming from a direction completely different from where the plane was. It was reflecting from a nearby building.
For the record, I often downvote to alert the poster to the fact that he just wrote a meaningless word salad. For example "from where the camaras where to no". Three presumably misspelt words resulting in no discernible meaning.
Not when you don't hear the first sound wave or if they overlap. That's why I stated my experience. I only criticized your conclusion; I did not downvote you. (Strange tool. I am an aeronautical engineer by training and occupation.)
Rank has nothing to do with it. I had a relevant direct experience with airplane sound signature being reflected from a building, convincingly from the direction opposite to where the plane was. Therefore, your comment did not cover all cases and was, to that extent, in error. You don't need to display self-deprecation as irony. Nothing retarded about construction work. Why would you call me an insulting name?

i disagree, you can distinguish an echo from the first sound wave. why would you dislike my comment? what a tool

(I didn't downvote on this occasion.)

ok ok fine you out rank me, i am just some half retarded autistic construction worker
