Means that it is a broad spectrum signal.
Imagine the dissonant sound of hitting a trashcan.
Now imagine the sound of pressing down all 88 keys on a piano simultaneously.
Do they sound similar in your head?
The localization is located at where the phase of all frequency components are aligned coherently construct into a pulse, while further down in time their phases are misaligned and cancel each other out.
