Well, sound is litterally a result of mass moving (vibrating) and hitting your ear drums so... I'm not sure that your technically correct

No, just no.

Whether or not photons have mass, is still debatable and not 100% verified.

And sound waves consist of stuff that have mass. Otherwise there wouldn't be a wave in the first place. Particles move around in a wave-like pattern --> Sound. That's why in a particle void atmosphere, there wouldn't be sound as well (in space for example)

No you cannot. That tells you the energy content of a massive object, not that a photon has some mass thanks to its energy. The full relation is E^2 = p^2 c^2 + m^2 c^4.

I agree with you on the sound front, but whether photons have mass is not debatable.

Also it's a dumb statement, that's not what we mean by seeing and hearing something.

I can hear the racket from the church over the road from me every Sunday morning and I'm pretty bloody sure it's Mass!
