Hi Jorie,
Joel Snyder's lab have reported contrastive and attractive context effects of previous trials on auditory stream segregation - see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18665741/ and
citing studies.
Best wishes,

very good point, the literature on sequential effects in vision that grew rapidly during the past few years is still quite unconnected to a longer tradition of similar research in audition.
In addition to the recent work in this area already mentioned in the previous posts, sequential effects in the sense of an effect of trial n-1 on trial n have been studied since the 1970ies, e.g.,
Jesteadt, W., Luce, R. D., & Green, D. M. (1977). Sequential effects in judgments of loudness. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 3(1), 92-104. Purks, S. R., Callahan, D. J., Braida, L. D., & Durlach, N. I. (1980). Intensity perception. X. Effect of preceding stimulus on identification performance. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 67(2), 634-637. Luce, R. D., Nosofsky, R. M., Green, D. M., & Smith, A. F. (1982). The bow and sequential effects in absolute identification. Perception and Psychophysics, 32(5), 397-408.
Also, for instance in the perception of loudness/auditory intensity perception, interactions between stimuli presented *within* a trial have been studied, with results largely indicating assimilation rather than contrast effects, e.g.,
Elmasian, R., Galambos, R., & Bernheim, A. (1980). Loudness enhancement and decrement in four paradigms. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 67(2), 601-607. Oberfeld, D. (2007). Loudness changes induced by a proximal sound: Loudness enhancement, loudness recalibration, or both? Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 121(4), 2137-2148. doi: 10.1121/1.2710433 Oberfeld, D., Stahn, P., & Kuta, M. (2014). Why do forward maskers affect auditory intensity discrimination? Evidence from "molecular psychophysics". PLOS One, 9(6). doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0099745

Hi Jorie,
Chambers et al. 2017 review contrastive and attractive context effects and demonstrate striking context effects in pitch perception: Chambers, C., Akram, S., Adam, V., Pelofi, C., Sahani, M., Shamma, S., and Pressnitzer, D. (2017). Prior context in audition informs binding and shapes simple features. Nature Communications, 8:15027.
You could also take a look at Chambers, C. and Pressnitzer, D. (2014). Perceptual hysteresis in the judgment of auditory pitch shift. Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 76(5):1271–1279. Raviv, O., Ahissar, M., and Loewenstein, Y. (2012). How recent history affects perception: the normative approach and its heuristic approximation. PLoS Comput Biol, 8(10):e1002731.
But there also exist attractive and contrastive context effects in timbre perception, see Siedenburg, K. (2018). Timbral Shepard-illusion reveals perceptual ambiguity and context sensitivity of brightness perception. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 143(2):EL93–EL98. Siedenburg, K., Barg, F. M., and Schepker, H. (2021). Adaptive auditory brightness perception. Scientific Reports, 11(1):1–11. Stilp, C. E., Alexander, J. M., Kiefte, M., and Kluender, K. R. (2010). Auditory color constancy: Calibration to reliable spectral properties across nonspeech context and targets. Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 72(2):470–480.
