Yes in theory you are correct. But in order for sound to exist a vibration must come first. So really we are feeling vibrations in our ears when we hear sound. I like the way you think eP.

actually theres no such thing as hearing. its all vibration, its set off by lil hairs in your ears call silia, when the are disturbed by vibration ( noise) it sends a mesage to the brain tellin you its sound ( or vibration) nearby, its actually part of our main senses of awareness and perseption....... lmfao... u guys no think scissorhands is smart..I trick you all..
Hey guys, I want chime in... Faded has it. I'm an audiologist... The definition of sound is the vibration of molecules in air, we 'hear' those vibrations

Sound is the vibration of air pressure {blast waves} which travel through the air, the waves are measured by a frequency range we call Hertz.
The frequency equates length of the wave/frequency we call the tone. Distance over time.
The height of the wave we call amplitude .
The closer together the waves are the higher the frequency which creates a higher pitched tone.
Humans when young can hear 20Hz to 20.000Hz and adults it is around 20 HZ to 16,000 Hz .
Ultrasonic sounds are not able to be heard by humans such as the ultrasonic echo location produced by bats, we can however build equipment that can pick up these frequencies.
So sound isn't defined by what we can hear.
It is like light for example, there is visible light and there is also invisible light such as Ultra violet light .
To define light as some thing we can see or something which illuminates in our visual perception would be some way off the mark.
The same can be said for sound for example there is audible sound and inaudible sound.
As far as we know, everything in the Universe has some kind of harmonic resonance which has it's own unique frequency of vibrations from, Ultra Low Frqencies {ULF) all the way down to subatomic vibration of strings, which are thought of as the building blocks of everything {hypothetically speaking}.
There are some waves/vibrations for instance that will physically cook you, such as microwaves.
A fascinating subject but at what point do we stop digging the rabbit hole?
Dig to deep and we might get lost forever

Smart arse. You know, I was just going to say the exact same thing! The pentatonic scale could only exist if there were five of us to appreciate it.
Darn it, after years of Heavy Rock concerts, I am deaf as a post.
How deaf is a post ?
They don't push through the air as such, it's more compression and rarefaction of the air particles, they are displaced. I.E, they push and pull to create a mechanical wave....it's also generally accepted that the range of human hearing is 20hz - 20khz, even though most of us can't hear above 18k.Sound is the vibration of air pressure {blast waves} which travel through the air, the waves are measured by a frequency range we call Hertz.
