1) You have two ears, the delay between the ears gives you stereo location (right to left).
2) The shape of your outer ear causes phase changes (only for high frequencies) that gives you a (weaker but real) up-down orientation.

Can you tell where the sound comes from when your blindfolded?
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? ; - This Is The Hypothesis But, You Can Use It As An Abstract ;
How can the loudness of a sound decrease?
Loudness is a person's perception of the intensity of a sound wave. A sound wave can be generated by any object able to impart energy to the environment, such as a set of speakers, clapping hands or a laser pulse through the air. Decreasing loudness can be done by removing energy from the sound wave. Generally this is done by adding a dampening material (like foam) in between you and the source of the sound. However, one can also remove the medium over which sound travels (i.e. remove the air and create a vacuum). An extremely loud and powerful sound source on earth would be inaudible on the moon
