What is heard is therefore constituted by properties of the sound wave at the point of reception, undermining the claim that perception tracks only the sounding object's vibration.

Based on where you are in your exploration

Point of reception(as used in perception studies): The specific location where something (like a sound wave) arrives and is received, in this case your ear.
Sound wave(as used in physics and philosophy of perception): Vibrations that travel through air (or other materials) and reach your ear, creating the experience of hearing.
Sounding object(as used in philosophy of perception): Anything that makes a sound—like a drum, a bell, or a voice—the physical thing that vibrates and creates sound waves.
Vibration(as used in philosophy of sound and perception): Rapid back-and-forth movement that creates sound; the original motion of an object before the sound waves travel to your ear.
perception(Hume's theory of ideas): Any mental activity that brings something before the mind; the basic unit of mental life in Hume's theory of ideas.
properties(Contrasted with substances as ontologically dependent entities.): Entities that depend for their existence on substances, being properties of individual objects.
tracks(as used in philosophy): Follows along with or corresponds to something; means that if one thing is true, the other is also true.
