What is sound?The definition of sound is: "Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear."
Sound is created in many ways, but here is one example: You hit a drum, the drum skin vibrates when you strike it, this makes the air vibrate around the drum, and your ear picks up these vibrations (also called soundwaves) in the air. |
