    the tilt is used to triangulate incoming sounds to better discern the source.

    Don’t human do that too? I sometimes even do it deliberately to indicate that I’m interested in listening to something another person is going to say, but maybe my body language is way off?

      Yes humans do too, shows interest in something, though sublty more than a 45 degree tilt. Animals mostly do it to hear differently. though you probably also tilt your head to try and listen to something better.

        I guess humans do it as a sign of interest specifically because it indicates “I am listening closely.”

          I mean I do it because I can’t hear you over everything else going on or whatever noises/sounds/music is in the background. So yeah same thing

      Humans do it for different reasons. Our ears already do a good job of helping us determine where sounds are coming from vertically. Dogs ears lack some of the cool ways our cartilage works, they do this to introduce a difference in verticality between their ears.

      (Or so I learned from Real Engineering’s video about the Apple AirPods I watched literally this morning on Nebula. It’s also on YouTube I think. Interesting stuff.)

      I have two toddlers who do this during lunch time. Like, look at me and tilt their heads in an 45 ish degree angle.

    My neighbor’s dog has it figured out. It will keep its head straight, prop one ear up, and one ear down. And it’s even goofier when they and I lock eyes.

    I didn’t tilt because the title gave it away. Even then I tilted my phone rather than my head.
