Here's a great captioned video of a guy born blind who have no concept of what color is like and tries to explain to the sighted audience that it's fruitless for them to try and describe colors to him in the hope he'd understand the concept of what color is like. It simply goes nowhere. Reframe that thinking when trying to describe the concept of sound to a deaf person born completely deaf since birth who have not worn a hearing aid or cochlear implant at all, and never heard what sound is like. The idea is the same which is why the concept of sound is so important for those who can hear and discriminate the differences. You don't know what you have lost if you have never experienced it in the first place.
