However, if something were to fall while I was not present, there is no perception of the event and its effects, and as such to me there was no sound. Does this make fact and evidence themselves objects of perception, or subjects of perception?

And that in itself is a very valid question. Perception has always been an argument that swings both ways for philosophers. I myself hate perception arguments, but cannot deny the validty that knowledge must start a posteriori.

You absurdist!
