Only living things can hear sounds, because only living things can hear. Sound is simply our way of interpreting a detected vibration in the air. Contact causes sound waves which are essentially vibrations which we pick up in out ears. Sounds don't naturally "sound" like anything. But somehow our brain interprets these "sounds" and that is what we hear. I believe your sense of smell works the same way.
