          the tilt is used to triangulate incoming sounds to better discern the source.

              Don't human do that too? I sometimes even do it deliberately to indicate that I'm interested in listening to something another person is going to say, but maybe my body language is way off?

                Yes humans do too, shows interest in something, though sublty more than a 45 degree tilt. Animals mostly do it to hear differently. though you probably also tilt your head to try and listen to something better.

                    My neighbor’s dog has it figured out. It will keep its head straight, prop one ear up, and one ear down. And it’s even goofier when they and I lock eyes.

                      I guess humans do it as a sign of interest specifically because it indicates "I am listening closely."

                        I thought so too. The picture looks like it's more about the ears than the eyes.

                          it's almost certainly both, you're right.

                            Your comment made me go back to look at the OP tilted. Then I realized the OP is already tilted and I too tilted it so it would not be angled without even realizing it. Then I realized why you posted this comment in the first place.

                              I didn’t tilt because the title gave it away. Even then I tilted my phone rather than my head.

                                I mean I do it because I can’t hear you over everything else going on or whatever noises/sounds/music is in the background. So yeah same thing

                                    I have two toddlers who do this during lunch time. Like, look at me and tilt their heads in an 45 ish degree angle.

                                          Is that what it's for? I had a good friend from a small village in India and his grandad did that all the time, back and forth while he was talking. You're saying it helps with his hearing? That totally makes sense.
