    it doesn’t. It creates sound waves that travel through the air causing it to vibrate. What you hear is your body’s interpretation of those vibrations as the enter your ear and shake the little hairs inside of your ear canal.

    Fun fact this is why sound and taste is subjective. I may like the sound of one persons voice and you find it annoying.

        It’s an ontological argument. OP is creating a categorical distinction where “sound” is the cognitive process by which pressure waves are perceived, eg as information. I think it’s a fairly common distinction to make, but it is also kind of unsatisfying is the sense that it feels a bit like linguistic nihilism.
