Quote by Jonathan Sterne from the New Yorker article Music To Your Ears by Adam Gopnick:
“The fundamental insight of psycho-acoustics is incredibly profound for a humanist. Human ears aren’t natural reflectors of sound in the world. They are themselves these transducers that make reality – the perception of sound is not a mirror of nature. Therefore, perception in a way makes sounds, and it makes sounds differently from a microphone and a computer detecting vibrations out in the world”
