I first elucidate the qualitative and quantitative nature of sound, explaining the ideality and negativity of sound, the temporality and hylomorphic form of sound, the propagation of sound, the causal sources of sound, and the mechanical nature of sound.
sound is certainly grounded on sensory bases, sounds are mostly considered as audible things, and those who consider audibility as an essential character of sounds are also ready to consider sounds as subjective qualities. The strong version of this thesis identifies sounds with acoustic sensations (this is a commonplace for the
One of the central questions in the philosophy of sounds and hearing is the question of space: what spaces or locations, if any, do sound perceptions make one aware of? When I hear a sound, do I perceive the direction of the sound? The direction (or distance) of the sound's source?
We will explore questions such as: What is ‘noise’ and why do states seek to regulate it? How does culture shape sound? How does architectural practice change as cities become nosier? What role does sound play in film? What is the relationship between music and social structure? How does technology mediate listening?
Phenomenology has a heuristic value in the context of the psychology of perception: psychology often discovers new perceptual mechanisms by studying the discrepancies between the (physical) description of the stimulus and the (phenomenological) description of perceptual content.
Our access to sounds is quite specific: we hear them. But what does “hearing” mean? The access to sounds is specifically sensory: hearing cannot be reduced to thinking of sounds, or to having beliefs about sounds. Furthermore, hearing sounds is not reducible to the recording of sound information by the means of the auditory system.
Sounds are public objects of auditory perception. By ‘object’ I mean only that which is perceived—that which is available for attention, thought, and demonstrative reference. Two listeners in a room may hear and talk about the same sound, and all in attendance may hear the sound of the same speech.
