               from him, from near you or from your back. However, your friend's voice is
               not far away or behind you. It is in your brain.
                    The extraordinariness about the real nature of the sound you hear is not
               limited to this. The brain is actually both lightproof and soundproof. Sound
               never in fact reaches the brain. Therefore, despite the volume of the sounds
               you hear, the interior of your brain is actually very quiet. However, you hear
               noise, such as voices, very clearly in your brain. They are so clear that a healthy
               person hears them without difficulties or distortions. You hear the symphony
               of an orchestra in your soundproof brain; you can hear all the sounds in a wide
               range of frequencies and decibel from the sounds of the leaves to the sounds of
               jet planes. When you go to a concert of your favorite singer, the deep and loud
               noise that fills the whole stadium is formed in the deep silence of your brain.
               When you sing by yourself loudly you hear the sound in your brain. However,
               if you were able to record the sound in your brain with a tape recorder at that
               moment, you would hear only silence. This is an extraordinary fact. The
               electrical signals that reach the brain are heard in your brain as sound, for
               example the sound of a concert in a stadium filled with people.
