"A [acoustic] sign is any representation of a physical reality. ... A sign does not sound but merely indicates. A signal is a sound with a specific meaning, and it often stimulates a direct response (telephone bell, siren etc.). A symbol, however, has richer connotations."
"A sound event is symbolic when it stirs in us emotions or thoughts beyond its mechanical sensations or singaling function, when it has a numinosity or reverberation that rings through the deeper recesses of the psyche."
"Noises possess a great deal of symbolic character as sound phobias"
