Sounds waves are compressional, and compressional waves are made up of compressions and rarefactions. When the radio speaker pumps sound outward, it forms a compression by pushing the molecules in air together. The compression moves away from the speaker as these molecules collide with other molecules in air. When the sound travels back, a rarefaction is formed where the molecules are farther apart. The air molecules form compressions and rarefactions. Compressions and rarefactions make up compressional waves. A sound wave is a compressional wave.

It propogates as a longitudinal pressure wave, where the air molecules move back and forth at the frequency of the sound, thus at any point you experience a fluctuating air pressure. For a pure tone this is known as Simple Harmonic Motion.

Because of the vibrations that are made by the speaker travel through the air, while your ear picks up the vibrations.

use air as their medium of propagation i think by vibrational movement of the air molecules because sounds moves as waves
