    Listening is hearing carefully.

    In observing one not only hear carefully but notice meticulously what is happening around, who is doing what, what is the atmosphere etc.

    Listening is a form of observing. Observing is jist collecting information from your senses. For example, watching a car drive by is observing its velocity. This observation however did not require you to listen. If you listen to a person, you are also aboserving what they are saying. Touching an object is observing its texture and position. Observing in quantum physics is measuring a phenomena, therefore listening is observing because it is measuring the amplitude and frequency of pressure waves.
