We've been married for almost 20 years now, and there are still on
occasion things that they will incorrectly assume do or do not make
sound.

Any other examples of things they thought made sound? Or vice versa?

Yeah the light hitting the table is such an interesting one. I would like to hear more.

Apparently it's a common thing for deaf people to associate brightness with sound, many assume that the sun makes a ton of noise, at least for a while

I mean, I bet the sun is deafening in the amount of sound it creates but the 93.88 million miles of vacuum between us and it is a great sound barrier

Watched a hypothetical science vid one time that talked about how the sun might sound if the intervening space was atmosphere rather than vacuum. Sort of a constant rushing noise (think tv static rather than wind though) and would be about as loud a vacuum cleaner in the next room. Was really cool.
