"Aquinas seems to have had a similar account in mind for hearing, where echoes play the role reflections play in sight, for as Aristotle says in the De Anima:
Aquinas claims that there is air on both sides of the eardrum, and that when we hear the inner air echoes the outer sound. Echoes, Aquinas may have thought, are like reflections in that (a) when you hear a whistle echo off a canyon wall the rock is not sounding (as the mirror does not become red)-it is the whistle that is making the noise; (b) the whistle causes the echo; and (c) when you hear the echo you are hearing the whistle."
