Heard

Sounds perceived - live, recorded, music, noise, soothing, harsh, grating, sung, spoken, or generated. Ears gather, detect, receive, perceive and filter the ocean of sounds that surround us. The clatter of busy life, the deep pounding of surf upon sand, the smooth hiss of water flowing, the toe-tapping rhythm of good music, the constant drone of the engines that serve us, all play upon our ears. What we hear can move us to tears, transport us to joy, and bore us senseless.
