# That may be the case,
but there are plenty of animals out there who can't here, or see, but they can feel things.

we can subjectify 'sound' as being the oscillation of our ear drums - but it's more complex than that. If sound was subjective in this way then it would not exist - sound waves (the oscillation of air molecules) is an ambient part of our environment and the way we recieve this informative is not sound itself - but our interpretation of sound.

Therefore insects and such without ears will recieve this information in a different way to humans - but that does not exclude the fact that sound exists regardless of whether it is being recieved or not in the same way that if you don't own a radio does that mean Radio Waves aren't all about us?
