Not really. The ability to determine the source of the sound is determined by

That would make it patently less directional. 8^)
If you assume human ears are the only way to receive sound
The context is foghorns, which are usually there expressly so that
humans can hear them.
So why would being less directional be an advantage for foghorns? Wouldn't it
be better if you could tell exactly which bearing the sound came from?
