Methods and devices are provided for processing sound signals, localizing sound signals corresponding to one or more sound sources, and rendering, on a wearable display device, an acoustic visualization corresponding to localized sound sources. A wearable visualization device may include two or more microphones for detecting sounds from one or more sound sources, and display devices for displaying the acoustic visualizations, optionally in a stereographic manner. A sound source may be located by processing the sound signals recorded by the microphones to localize sound signals corresponding to a given sound source, and processing the localized sound signals to identify the location of the sound source. The acoustic visualization may be a frequency-domain visualization, and may involve a mapping of frequency to color. The acoustic visualization devices and methods provided herein may assist in training the human brain to comprehend sound visualization signals as sound signal itself.
