There are atleast 3 level of hearing, recognising the sound, recognising its arrival direction and recognising its echoes.
The property of being thinkable as a real function really applies only to the monohearing. You can get the richer aspect by considering a real field. But phenomenologically sound has a direction and echoocation is a mode of hearing as well. Basic spoken language glosses over these features.
Using a time series method of communication is in my guess has lots more to do that a given set fo data is available to the brain at once and this data access forms the natural unit of meaning. That is it has less to do with airs properties as a medium but more to do with understndbility and ability to nail any reoccurring resemblances in the first place.
In Kanji based languages it is more common to have a wider shared written language and the written forms have more centrality to the speakers than the spoken forms. That is things being homophones are easily glossed over if they are heterographs. Kanji also displays the property that radicals are free to associate in a non-linear way within a complex kanji forming what would be a compound word but at the letter level (ie kanji for month has kanji for moon in it).
Even in linear language we often convey structures which don’t piggyback on the linearity of language like familiar relationship like niece and uncle. The interface is for communicating not thinking.
