Question

What is sound? How is it produced?

Answer 1

Sound is defined as vibrations that travel through the air or another medium as an audible mechanical wave.

It is produced from a vibrating body. The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.) around it to vibrate thus producing sound. The sound is produced when something vibrates . Sound waves consist of areas of high and low pressure called compressions and rarefactions, respectively. Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium, can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear.
