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
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.

Medial theories—exemplified by mainstream acoustics—locate sounds in the medium between the resonating object and the hearer.
