That's interesting Hector. Generally from what I remember you have migrating frequency notches/peaks above 10khz that go up or down depending on sound source elevation and this is caused by the direction dependant filtering caused by the pinnae. However there was an experiment that low passed filtered sounds beneath 5khz and people did not lose accuracy of elevation localisation perception so maybe something else going on too , I think it was this paper: Martens WL. Directional Hearing on the Frontal Plane: Necessary and Sufficient Spectral Cues. North-western University, Evanston, Illinois; 1991.
