While we don't perceive "real reality" either with our senses or abstractions from them, and likewise often are just perceiving complex abstract models of reality, I think we also do have the ability to experience (but not perceive) reality directly. To your point though, I do think sound is closer to an experience than a perception and therefore more real and less abstract.
