The absence of an observer does not alter the physical world or the resultant sound waves from episodic events.

If science has yet to find a way to 'measure' something, it will.

That's odd. I do.

Sure, it can be explained as an expression of light waves, but, ultimately, it's tangible existence cannot be "proved" to a sightless person.

So if we could convert light waves to sound waves you'd agree that it'd be possible for the blind to 'hear' a color? It's already happening so this solution won't be far off.
Yay, science!
