Solution

Dear Student!
Sound is merely a disturbance produced in the air molecules which is propagated further. You are able to sense some of these disturbances as it enters our ear (as explained by Rakshit).
The rest of the disturbance continues to exist in the medium (air). It travels further and gradually dampens (amplitude reduces).
