Why do you want to divide events semantically into perceived and unperceived ones?I don't see what difficulty this distinction is trying to overcome.

In order to divide between physical and mental events?So, oscillations of air particles vs hearing music.

Why classify the unpercieved ones as "not noises"?I might as well say that when we hear soft and gentle sounds, those aren't really noises. Or that when we detect a noise visually as a sound wave on a screen, that's not really a noise, or that noises that happen in Switzerland don't count because it's a quiet sort of place.

To be honest, I'd happily use the word 'sound' or 'noise' to describe either.But there is a distinction between a physical description of what's happening and the mental perception of it.

because "sound" is the description of quality of perceptionvibration of molecules isn't.
