in. Therefore, no matter how noisy is the outside, the inside of the brain
is completely silent. Nevertheless, the sharpest sounds are perceived in
the brain. In your completely silent brain, you listen to symphonies,
and hear all of the noises in a crowded place. However, were the sound
level in your brain was measured by a precise device at that moment,
complete silence would be found to be prevailing there.
As is the case with imagery, decades of effort have been spent in
trying to generate and reproduce sound that is faithful to the original.

The results of these efforts are sound recorders, high-fidelity systems,
and systems for sensing sound. Despite all of this technology and the
thousands of engineers and experts who have been working on this
endeavour, no sound has yet been obtained that has the same shar-
pness and clarity as the sound perceived by the ear. Think of the high-
est-quality hi-fi systems produced by the largest company in the music
industry. Even in these devices, when sound is recorded some of it is
lost; or when you turn on a hi-fi you always hear a hissing sound befo-
re the music starts. However, the sounds that are the products of the
human body's technology are extremely sharp and clear. A human ear
never perceives a sound accompanied by a hissing sound or with
atmospherics as does a hi-fi; rather, it perceives sound exactly as it is,
sharp and clear. This is the way it has been since the creation of man.
