You can't hear the sound you worked so hard to get, the sound that's actually there in the room, because your sensory perception is hurt by the objects, patterns, images, and information - books, CDs, DVDs, telephone books, etc. - in the room. What you are hearing is a distorted, compressed, noisy facsimile of what is actually coming from the speakers.
In a colloquial sense, this strange idea is so far outside the scope of common sense and recognized scientific explanation that it is impossible to take seriously.
In a medical sense, this strange idea could easily be considered delusional perception, i.e. the misattribution of a non-hallucinatory perception to objects or events to which they are utterly unrelated.
The cause of this strange idea, and ones like it that appear on other threads, is a mystery.
