The first time I encountered this effect was when I was listening to this TED Talk "Michael Shermer: Why people believe weird things" https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=8T...

The whole thing is worth a listen ..but in the relevant clip he talks about audio illusions and gives a great example.

This just reinforces the lesson, it is the Brain that is Hearing!

Excellent link and now I'm a fan of Katie Melua (not her music just her for having the humour to redo her song).
