OP Hi Maverick,
Play the sound is closer. However, it only works if you are 'doing' the sound, ie I could play you the Pathetique on the piano, but it doesn't always substitue.
If I took you to a Rothko gallery last Saturday, I showed you some Rothko piantings.
If I took you to a Waits concert last Sunday, I (?) you some Waits.
Is that clearer?
I hope I'm not nit picking, as a phonophile I find I often get left back-tracking and trying to reconstruct entire paragraphs, or substituing with the cumbersome phrase: auditorily demonstrated.
