Sound is an enrgy. Sound travels through progressive compressions and expansions of the particles of the medium. The compressions and rarefactions travel parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave. Hence it is a longitudinal wave. Sound requires a medium to propagate. Hence it is a mechanical wave.
