Assuming that we don't perceive "real reality" but rather a complex model of it, they say what we call sound comes closest to real reality.

Assuming everything is energy then the sensor picks up on different attributes of the signal. Reality is the signal, the scatter is noise, the parts with order (music) are the message.
While we don't perceive "real reality" either with our senses or abstractions from them, and likewise often are just perceiving complex abstract models of reality, I think we also do have the ability to experience (but not perceive) reality directly. To your point though, I do think sound is closer to an experience than a perception and therefore more real and less abstract.
We're very literally unable to perceive "real reality" per se. All we can ever perceive are the effects that reality has on our senses, along with any "side-effects" caused by the differences in one person's sensory system compared to another (personalized complex model).
green-needle/brain-storm would disagree with you!
