@sleepwalker,
What part of "direct observation" and "experience" confuses you enough to think it's not "empirical"? Go back and reread the definition.
Data is just the accumulation of those facts and observations to be used in whatever calculation or testing format you wish to continue with. That, and I don't see how hearing something can be "tangible" as that refers to something you can touch.
All the best,
Nonoise
