Krause’s theory certainly had the advantage of not just presenting the most detailed explanation model for the acoustic environments surrounding us today, but actually offering potential insights into the evolution of species on the basis of sound. Before there was animal life on the planet, after all, the only noises were those springing from “nonbiological subcategories such as wind, water, earth movement, and rain.”
