There was no physical organism to hear that sound yet there you have it - proof that sound exists even if noone hears it. Great observation, A-G!!!

Great observation, A-G!!!Light waves also exist without a human to perceive them. Both light and sound can be described as having wavelengths, which are also objective.
But unless you are willing to assign a specific wavelength to the label green, the way we assign 440 hz as A below middle C, color is a perceived quality, like beauty.

"Great observation, A-G!!!" And what medium did these 'sounds' propagate through that we would still consider them to be sounds?
