In this sense our hearing is much better than our color vision.
We can distinguish the combination a huge number of frequencies between 20-20000Hz.
But we can only distinguish 3 independent colors of light.
Of course our vision is vastly better than hearing for determining where the sound/light comes from.

I imagine a “sound camera” would have to be huge to avoid diffraction (but that’s just intuition), requiring impracticality large ears. Likewise i imagine that perceiving “chords” of light requires sensing on really tiny scales, requiring impractically small complex structure in the eyes? Anybody know the answer?
