...you can see engineering, you can touch engineering and you can measure
engineering but you can't hear engineering. Isn't hearing phenomena called
psychoacoustics?
"Psychoacoustics can be defined simply as the psychological study of hearing.
The aim of psychoacoustic research is to find out how hearing works. In other
words, the aim is to discover how sounds entering the ear are processed by the
ear and the brain in order to give the listener useful information about the
world outside.Some of the hot areas of psychoacoustic research at the time of
writing a
How do we separate sounds occurring simultaneously (e.g. two speakers speaking
at once)?
How do we localise sounds in space?
How do we determine the pitch of, say, a musical instrument?
How does the cochlea separate a complex sound into its different frequency
components?
Determining the abilities and limitations of human hearing is invaluable in
helping us to use sounds in our environment. Any device that produces sound for
the purpose of human listening should take account of what the listener's ears
are going to do with that sound. "

The above are well-known to many branches of neurophysiology and
psychology.

And your point is?
