Could you extract any “meaning” from a Fourier-like transform of the sound wave the brain auditory system receives, even if you know a bit more of Fourier transform and of the anatomy of the inner ear than Kanzi does? One can not even recognize 2-dimensional images by looking at graphical representations of the illumination levels, which is a much easier problem. What a baby chimpanzee’s brain does is more “abstract” and difficult, than the solution of the hardest problem ever resolved by mathematicians.

Nope, already lost. It's not a "sound wave" once it is changed into nerve impulses.

But yeah, fourier transforms work great on sound. Manipuling the fourier transform of sound is how autotune works.

I'd take the anti-transform and listen to it.

When you put a "word" inside "quotation marks" while using its standard "definition" it makes you look like you don't understand the "words" that you're "using."
