The described aspects and implementations support sound-based emergency vehicle detection, localization, and tracking for autonomous vehicle and driver-assist systems. The techniques include obtaining, using one or more audio detectors of a vehicle, a sound recording that includes a sound emitted by an emergency vehicle (EV). The techniques further include applying a sound localization (SL) model to the sound recording to obtain a SL output, which includes a first map of possible locations of the EV in a driving environment of the vehicle and can further include a second map of possible velocities of the EV. The techniques further include simulating, using the SL output, trajectories of simulated EV(s) in the driving environment of the vehicle, and causing, responsive to proximity of the simulated trajectories to a driving path of the vehicle, modification of the driving path of the vehicle.
