Model A is the only scientifically accepted model of sound. Thus, using the terminology employed in some articles on misconceptions about sound (e.g. Wittmann et al. 2003), the scientifically accepted ‘event-like’ properties of sound can be inferred from Model A, whereas ‘object-like’ properties would be inferred from Models B to D, all of which attribute a corpuscular nature to sound to a greater or lesser extent in the form of frictional, containable (i.e. localised rather than spread, like waves), transitional (i.e. able to move or be moved), inertial and other corpuscular properties
