Hmmm, i guess your point with the reference is that when perceiving  
one takes snapshots (measurements) of a statistical function (the wave  
function).
However, there are widespread methods to tell one statistical  
distribution ("noise") from another one ("noise").
See e.g. expectation maximization (EM) in (Gaussian) mixture models  
(GMM), a popular technique in Music Information Retrieval.

Why shouldn't human listeners be able to maximize their expectations  
as well?
