Sound
What's the business,
That such a hideous trumpet calls to parley
The sleepers of the house? Speak, speak!
William Shakespeare, Macbeth (1605), Act II, scene 3, line 86.
Sound
If a tree falls in a forest, and no-one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?
Source unknown, but apparently originating in the twentieth century; a 1910 physics book asks "When a tree falls in a lonely forest, and no animal is near by to hear it, does it make a sound? Why?" Charles Riborg Mann, George Ransom Twiss, Physics (1910), p. 235. See also: If a tree falls in a forest.
Sound
By magic numbers and persuasive sound.
William Congreve, Mourning Bride, Act I, scene 1.
