People can tell if a sound is coming from their right or left, by the small delay of the sound reaching their ears. How do people recognise if a sound comes from above or below?

I feel like it’s also kind of like a logic thing. I was on the roof of a three-story building the other day and my co-worker was outside by the front door, so I just hung my head over the roof and I didn’t yell I just said her name at a slightly louder than speaking volume and she looked around for a half second until looking up, so I guess it was like she heard her name and while she was processing that she realized it was not around it was indeed above even though that’s you know unusual
