Sounds perceived via non-auditory modalities (e.g., tactile vibration) are better classified as cross-modal representations of the same event-kind, not evidence of a distinct sound-kind.

cross-modal representations(explaining how different senses can perceive the same event): When your brain processes the same thing through multiple senses and recognizes them as connected (like feeling a speaker vibrate and hearing music at the same time, and understanding they're the same event).
event-kind(referring to the type or category of what's being perceived): A category of thing that happens—in this case, a musical performance or sound source that your senses can detect in different ways.
non-auditory modalities(referring to senses other than hearing): Ways of experiencing the world that don't use your ears—like touch, sight, or taste.
sound-kind(contrasting with how sound should be classified philosophically): A distinct category or type of sound treated as its own separate thing, rather than just one way of perceiving the same event.
