Whereas a sound has been analyzed previously solely in terms of loudness, pitch, timbre, this article proposes wider analysis respecting the "discursive complexity" (p.16) of sound. Some technical detail on the production and reception of sound.

| Quotes |
| pp.19–20 "Systematically, the name of a sound refers to the production of sound and not to its consumption, to the object making the sound rather than the person perceiving it." Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard |
| p.22 "What our ears are doing is a form of narrative analysis." Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard |
| p.30 "If there were no connection between the apparent sound event and the original sound source, recorded sound would not have its extraordinary capacity for idealogical impact. ... Between the illusion of reproduction and the reality of representation lies the discursive power of recorded sound." Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard |
