Maybe it sounds the same, but assuming the music is powerful enough for the vibrations to be felt, then I imagine a deaf person may feel a variety of music differently.
And I guess this may get to the point of the OP. Sonic vibrations can create tension, while other forms of sonic vibrations can be soothing.
Yes indeed music requires a receiving apparatus - commonly a pair of ears and a brain/mind but in this case (deaf) sensing the vibrations with some other human mechanism (that of touch) will make it a very poor receiver missing on a lot of the information - musical and lyrical - conveyed in the original wave.
Although all animal receiving apparati (ears/brain) work in the same fundamental way - that of receiving the vibrations and converting them into sound inside their brain, not all perceive the final product in the same way. I am sure the same vibration sounds differently inside the human brain than inside the brain of some other animal - pretty much how the EM light waves are seen black-and-white inside a dog's brain. And to expand this further, the same vibration never "sounds" exactly the same inside different human brains. _________________ "And can’t you see you’re in on it?

Definitely true. Beethoven wrote his whole 9th symphony almost entirely deaf just through the vibrations of a piano on his floor.

Even calling it an "animal" is inconclusive semiotically. There is nothing inherently "animal-like" about "an animal". We just call them like that.
Definitely a good point, something my professor had also mentioned in that lecture. _________________ Progressive Rock

Not quite the truth, actually far from it: Beethoven was not born deaf. He experienced life knowing what each note on paper sounded like! _________________ "And can’t you see you’re in on it?
