Does sound actually exist?

Question

I'm going to try and make as much sense as possible here.

Anyway, I know it exists in the sense that, you get vibrations that have a set speed in Earth's environment, I realise in definition that is sound.

But I mean, what we hear, does it really exist or is it our brain making sense of the vibrations that it detects in the ears?

I'm not sure if that makes sense but I've done my best.

Answer 1

The vibrations that you call sound DO exist.



What we hear is what our brain interprets it as. It is basically any receiver that can interpret. Unless we had researched and made devices which could detect ultrasound, we'd have thought there exists no ultrasound, but that's not true. The vibrations do exist, but it depends on whether we have the receiver to catch that sound.



You in your point are right.

Answer 2

When I put a DVD on the speakers vibrate in a way that makes the air vibrate, and in turn, makes my ear drum vibrate. It's not a fluke that the speaker make the sound that I want to hear, it's been specifically manufactured to make the sound that humans can hear. Yes the brain simply makes sense of vibrations in the air but we have developed a way of understanding those sounds, and making sounds of our own, like farting haha, just kidding.

Answer 3

You make perfect sense. The sensation of sound is produced in the brain to corrospond to electrical pulses coming along the auditory nerve that were produced by air vibrations in the ear. Same way brightness is a sensation produced in the brain in response to signals from the eyes, light itself stops in the eyes. The other senses work the same way. There are no real sensations outside of us, we create them in our brains.



The nerves could be swapped around so that you could “hear” sounds from the direction of your eyes or “see” bright patches from the direction of your ears. I believe experiments like this have been done.



The point is there is nothing loud about sound waves, nothing bright about light or tasty about food, the sensations are all made by us when we receive electrical signals at different parts of the brain. The brain can’t know where they originated, it can only deal with what it receives at the part that normally gives rise to a particular sense.

Answer 4

there has to be a thing that is sound that is a unique thing coz if it was just our brains that could detect it, how would sound instruments pick it up and record it

how would a radar system work if it could not hear the sound of sound rebounding.

if our brains where just feeling vibrations and then turning them vibrations its to the sound we hear would there really be so much variation in sound, think of all the millions of different sounds there are from a baby crying to wind making leaves on a tree rustling

Answer 5

Ok I'm 15 and when I was practicing at a football field I looked at some people playing baseball and when I saw them hit the ball it took a little while to hear the sound after he hit the ball so it does has speed it also comes like with force and that force makes vibration Hope that helps

Answer 6

Actually, the sound is only vibrations in air. The point is, our brain interprets different types of sound for different purposes. For example, when someone screams "help!!", he lets out a pulse of vibrations in air which travel to our brain through auditory nerve and the brain interprets it as a person who needs help. Our brain is trained to distinguish different sounds and to interpret what they mean.

Answer 7

Actually it's our brain play the important role in we hearing sound because is something we not see nor feel but hear due to wave vibration that was sent to a particular object and the brain make us to feel it.

Answer 8

You might as well ask 'Does anything exist?' as all we have to go on is our brain's 'perception' of information received through our senses. There's no absolute proof that the brain interpretates everything accurately or that we all perceive things in the same way.

Answer 9

This is not an answer but hope it helps.



People can make an answer but there is no a reason. (This is your so-called free will.)

God can make a reason but there is no an answer. (This is your so-called destiny & chance.)



Sometimes I say, newton's apple is more clever than newton.



Let's go!



Time has two properties.



Progress(related to evolution) and Event(related to Creation) by turns.

and Probability exist between two properties.



Mobius strip explains it very well. (one progress, one event, one probability)



Look at this!

Chicken (event) Egg (progress) & Egg (event) Chicken (progress)

Schrodinger's cat was placed between one properties, just event. So, probability can not exist.

The reason, Wave-particle duality of light. I think so...



Progress / Event / Probability is a time. This is my trinity.

--------------------

Does time have the shape? Does soul have the shape?



Everything has the shape but these two in the world.



So, I made a great assumption "Time is soul(thinking, knowledge, memory, etc.)".



It was the beginning of my UNIONTERA.



We know...

To our great discouragement, these doesn't have one way by us.

Time walked to the way of science. Soul walked to the way of religion.



Now, I propose a great reconciliation.



Light up candle for a second. A second of light exist permanently or not?

----------------------

Einstein deceive our world. Where is our common sense?



I mean, why he didn't tell us this so easy common sense.



The only base which can be the cause of Einstein's assumption...



[Assumption] "principle of constancy of light velocity".



[The only base] "Time of light is different from the starting point time."



This base is not an assumption but a common sense. Can you see?



In my opinion, he already knew this base.



This common sense is a certain evidence for me.



This is my uniontera.

1. Arrow A is the laser work. (Same time work)

2. Arrow B is the reason of gravity. (also, Higgs boson individually / Different time work)

3. The rose line is the beginning light. (result from Bible)

4. The existence of different time. (result from relativity of light)

5. 2 dimension is not a space. (result from 2-axis, math)

6. Universe came from nothing. (result from No.5 / cf. Playing with bubbles)

6-1. A barrier[posititon] exist between the inner and outer bubbles. But universe do not have that barrier. (Cause of Inertia / Reason of Sun / Position of Antimatter)

6-2. Nothing is not a no existence. No existence is a zero dimension. There is two zero dimension. One has a position. The other doesn't have a position. These different positions were connected by something. That "something" is not a what but a way. (Cause of Light)

7. Progress / Event / Probability is a time. (This is my trinity.)

8. Wave-particle duality of light, creation & evolution, uncertainty principle, etc. (result from No.7)

9. Coalescing of different time. (Cause of Rotation & Spin / Equator has plenty of time.)

10. Your so-called black hole is a wholly condensed time. (cf. Kerr spacetime, math)

11. The reason of "your so-called magnetic field". (result from step3 and 4)

12. The reason of "your so-called electric field". (result from the crack of time / Same time's crack is a different time's coalescing. / Cause of Static electricity)

13. Your so-called "space" is a crack of time. (result from No.12 / Cause of Lightning)

14. Boundary is a crack of space. (result from No.13 / Same space's crack is a different time's contact. / Cause of Superfluid, cf. Fractal)

15. Boundary is nothing. Your so-called hole is a boundary itself. Also, nothing is K=0 temperature. (result from No.14 / cf. Calabi-Yau Space, math)

16. This is a wall of your so-called fire. (result from No.15) - copyright ⓒ uniontera



Our nonsense have come from one time. Uniontera is a key.



English is not my first language, sorry!



If it is difficult to understand, just remember & enjoy "Hand touching everything is a time". This is the only one result of uniontera.

Answer 10

Depends how you define exist.
