Okay I know that Softball is not Volleyball. The rulebook for volleyball clearly indicates that the ONLY input for making a call is visual. I see nowhere in any Softball Rulebook which even hints at sound based decisions.
Thanks to 8-inch cannon fire I am deaf in one ear so all sound comes from the same direction, you really need to good ears to pinpoint sound direction (and I can no longer listen to Pink Floyd with headphone). So that slap I hear could be from the tag or a guy hitting his mit behind me.
If you tell a coach you heard an out, you might also hear some colorful language. No I do not think that sound is valid input for making a visual based decision.
