[QUOTE="SylverFlame, post: 587254, member: 8423"] Sound does enter a [I]silence[/I] spell because the sound itself does not cause the effect. When an opera singer shatters a crystal glass they are not actually "singing" the glass apart. When the sound waves hit the glass they cause the perfectly faceted crystal to vibrate, cracking the glass and shattering. In effect, the glass breaks itself due to its structural qualities. This is why crystal creatures are so vulnerable. This is also why sound actually moves so well in water, and is the reason why all underwater communication (ie. sonar, whales, dolphins, etc.) is by "sound." The actual sound a dolphin makes ends shortly after leaving the dolphin, the waves it creates echo on and are converted into information (ie. a fish) when they bounce back. The dolphin does not hear its own voice, aside from what we hear in our own heads when we talk (that is, the reverberations). By the way, this all comes from basic chemistry and physics.
