I read somewhere that if a sound is not intercepted by an ear the sound is silent.
Yes I’m paraphrasing because I don’t remember the exact wording used. Sounds are vibratory —
I suppose I could “google” an answer, but I’m not sure I want to know what AI would say. LoL
How deaf people ‘hear’ music. And about AI as well. Does AI experience ‘music’ and the other senses. It can talk and hear – SIRI, robots etc – but is it sentient ? Chat GPT said No. Rhetorical question.
‘Deaf people sense vibration in the part of the brain that other people use for hearing — which helps explain how deaf musicians can sense music, and how deaf people can enjoy concerts and other musical events.
These findings suggest that the experience deaf people have when ‘feeling’ music is similar to the experience other people have when hearing music. The perception of the musical vibrations by the deaf is likely every bit as real as the equivalent sounds, since they are ultimately processed in the same part of the brain,” says Dr. Dean Shibata, assistant professor of radiology at the University of Washington.’
