 Kulvicki answers this objection by saying that this phenomenon is consistent with the dispositional view (2014: 218). In order to have sounds, it is required that the dispositions of an object to vibrate in a certain way are realized, that these dispositions generate waves in a medium, and that ears can detect these waves. Occurrent unheard sounds produced when you block your ears and do not hear the tuning fork vibrating for thirty seconds are not a problem simply because they are not sounds. For the dispositional view “sounds are not occurrent anythings: they are qualities” (2014: 218). But the questions that naturally arise and need to be answered are: if the unheard dispositions are not sounds, what are they? Moreover, imagining that when I am still blocking my ears with my hand, someone else is there listening to the tuning fork, would she be listening to sounds? What are the items she would be listening to?
