 Maclachlan’s description of sounds and auditory experience has some attractions. First, sounds are among the things we hear. And sounds are among the direct or immediate objects of audition in the relatively innocuous sense that hearing a sound does not seem to require hearing as of something else. Hearing a collision, on the other hand, may seem to require awareness as of a sound. Furthermore, sounds are unlike the ordinary material objects (e.g., bottles and staplers) we see. You cannot reach out and grab a sound, or determine its temperature. Instead, sounds may strike us as byproducts or effects of such ordinary things and their transactions. Sounds result from activities or interactions of material bodies and thus are experienced as distinct or independent from them (cf. Nudds 2001). Nevertheless, audition does afford some variety of awareness of the sources of sounds, or at least provides information about them.
