Our very systems of vision and audition indeed depend upon wave
reception, either photonic or air pressure, but waves themselves
possess three irreduceable characteristics: amplitude (brightness,
loudness), frequency (pitch, hue) and waveform (shape, timbre).
This is not even to get into size (degree of field occluded) and
direction from source.
