It turns out that you can only tell which direction a sound is coming from because it arrives at your two ears at slightly different times. In general, our ears can hear from about 20Hz-20,000Hz (cycles/second) -- lower the Hertz, the lower the pitch. The formula w = f / v gives you the wavelength of a sound (where f is the frequency, w is the wavelength, and v is the velocity of sound [approx 1100 ft/sec]).

By plugging in a wavelength of about a foot (the distance between your ears) you arrive at a lower limit wavelength of 1,100 Hz. So if a sound is lower than 1,100 Hz, you can't really tell where it's coming from.
