So you believe sound waves to be structurally and acoustically different de=

electrical circuits and speakers themselves would be unlikely to function.

Er, no, since it is defined in terms of room acoustics. Rooms do not differ=
from person to person. People's experience of the rooms might, but that is=
not the same thing, and not what tuning a room addresses. (Which is why it=
does not even require a human listener.)

Acoustics is physics which is not subjective. Since all our analogue and di=
gital devices do indeed function in the (non-subjective) world, we can be p=
retty sure that our physics is correct.
Hearing and personal interpretation is another matter. But you are confusin=
g matters.
