A method of locating a sound source based on sound received at an array of microphones comprises the steps of determining a correlation function of signals provided by microphones of the array and establishing a direction in which the sound source is located based on at least one eigenvector of a matrix having matrix elements which are determined based on the correlation function. The correlation function has first and second frequency components associated with a first and second frequency band, respectively. The first frequency component is determined based on signals from microphones having a first distance, and the second frequency component is determined based on signals from microphones having a second distance different from the first distance.
