We know of things that we can't detect with our naked senses. In other words, yes.
Yes, I think so. Besides certain types of light, sound waves are the only waves that I can think of that we can feel.
Probably. If you've ever heard a car stereo bumping down the street with the windows down and the car vibrating, you can feel the waves of sound with your teeth! Makes you want to turn a shotgun loose on the car (smile)
I concur with the posters that say we could study them without hearing them. Because sound waves still produce some kind of effect that can easily be measured. I liken it to the tree in the forest concept. If a tree falls in the forest, it still makes a sound, even if no one is around to hear it.
Yes we would. Just as we can detect sound and light frequencies we cannot see and hear, electric and magnetic fields, atoms etc.etc. There are many phenomenon we cannot detect directly with our senses that we have come to know and understand with the aid of instruments and intelligence.
The vibrations would still occur, so we'd know they were there.
Sure. We have tools to detect ultra-violet light even though we can't see it with the naked eye.
We probably would have noticed them, seeing as many objects respond to sound waves, either through vibrating, shattering, etc.
