the concept of diffraction i think.....
maybe due to the wavelength of sound it can easily bend on sharp corners while light cant.......
Why can we hear but not see around a corner? (Means around the wall)

maybe because light has diff. wavelengths which reflect(or bend) by diff angles around a corner...whereas sound waves bend uniformly...[12][12]

Something even more basic...
Think of what we need to see an image..
(Btw these are all questions for class IX X level :D)

Basically about image formation.. we need an image to see it..
There is anotehr very simple reason.... simpler than this one..!!

A simpler answer that i was looking at is
sound travels through the walls... light does not :D
