Maybe I'll add that our "detectors" for sight and sound operate on different principles. Our sight system is a camera, capturing a 2-D image of the world. Color is picked up by 3ish sensors that have broadband frequency responses, meaning that a huge amount of information on the actual spectral content of the light is discarded. Countless spectral combinations get flattened into individual color values. Our sound system approximates a Fourier-like decomposition of sound into frequency bins at points in time. It preserves much more spectral fidelity, but very little spatial fidelity.
