TRANSLATION: The loud sound of the chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra certainly made the Kazi very much afraid, and he hid himself within his room. Hearing the people thus protesting, murmuring in great anger, the Kazi would not come out of his home.
PURPORT: The Kazi’s order not to perform sankirtana could stand only as long as there was no CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. Under the leadership of the Supreme Lord, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the chanters, increasing in number, disobeyed the order of the Kazi. Thousands assembled together and formed parties, CHANTING THE HARE KRSNA MAHA-MANTRA and MAKING A TUMULTUOUS SOUND OF PROTEST. Thus the Kazi was very much afraid, as naturally one should be under such circumstances.

Even if the human apparatus is damaged, a hearing aid, for example, can have them hearing once again. So, there is a capacity to sense which seems inherent. Such a capacity, to me, indicates likelihood of a higher or even Supreme source of sound, ie the components are complex and interrelated; capacity sensation energy and energetic. Without taking the whole gestalt into account, you have merely a component. Therefore as there is much extremely organized information involved in "sound", all this suggests purpose and meaning, the value of relationship(s)
Our spirtual masters say, by sound, we can achieve liberation. Chant Hare Krsna, please, and be happy.
