 If waves were processes like parties, one would have to construe sound waves’ “movement” in terms of the presence of different phases of the wave at different spatial locations. However, one does not hear a sound wave’s phase as being at a particular location, in particular at any of the locations between the source and oneself. Sound waves do not appear to be perceptually located where sounds are. A wave-process has some starting phases in the object, and some end-phases around the perceiver: but perception locates sounds wholly where the object is.
