It is a common understanding in psychoacoustics that the ear cannot respond to sounds at such high frequency via an air-conduction pathway, so one question that this research raised was: does the hypersonic effect occur via the "ordinary" route of sound travelling through the air passage in the ear, or in some other way?
However, if we define sound as the waves themselves, then sound would be produced. This all leaves out sounds heard from imagination, hallucination, synesthesia, and tinnitus. These phenomena prove that sound is virtualized reality since these all exist without vibration in the air. The same applies to all other senses that produce perceptions.

In air at atmospheric pressure, these represent sound waves with wavelengths of 17 meters (56 ft) to 1.7 centimeters (0.67 in). Sound waves above 20 kHz are known as ultrasound and are not audible to humans. Sound waves below 20 Hz are known as infrasound. Different animal species have varying hearing ranges, allowing some to even hear ultrasounds

Interaural time difference (ITD) between left (top) and right (bottom) ears. (sound source: 100 ms white noise from 90° azimuth, 0° elevation). The interaural time difference (or ITD) when concerning humans or animals, is the difference in arrival time of a sound between two ears.
