The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Neural specializations for speech and pitch: moving beyond the dichotomies (2008, background): “B (2008) perception of melodies made of iterated ripple noise (Patterson et al. 2002); reproduction of tonal temporal patterns (Penhune et al.”
Maps and streams in the auditory cortex: nonhuman primates illuminate human speech processing (2009, background): “As in animal models, preferred features of lower-order neurons combine to create selectivity for increasingly complex sound”
Functional Correlates of the Antero-Lateral Processing Hierarchy in Human Auditory Cortex (2011, background): “However, similar hierarchical organization reflecting temporal complexity has indeed been previously reported (Patterson et al., 2002).”
When the brain plays music: auditory–motor interactions in music perception and production (2007, background): “The precise nature of this coding becomes less well understood for more distal components of the streams, but patterns of pitches unfolding over time — that is, a melody — are known to engage neural populations in both anterior and posterior auditory pathway”
