the acoustics, combinations of voices and instruments in space, reflective surfaces and the mikes used. It's partly an intermodulation effect, although some singers have it built in.
Even in purist / simple miking methods mikes don't hear the way we do, because they don't have an active affective filter operating between them, their polar diagrams are fixed and unlike ours, ours aren't fixed.
Knowledge of how we identify position and FR over the audible range can be used. Combining spaced omnis with a stereo pair of Fig.8's or cardioids and re-timing both pairs - to match sources from the stage centre gives the best results.
Close mono miking is much more likely to cause sibilance, justas it emphasises plosives, breathing, formants, and glottals. Hence the mesh-cloth shields and foam covers often used. Notch filters are sometimes used.
