Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas. To see sound waves as longitudinal waves in air moving, scroll down to related links and look at "Longitudinal wave - Wikipedia".

Why light waves doesn't require a medium for its propogation but sound waves require?
sound waves move along with the particles of matter through which it passes
In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?
sorta, compressions move at a slightly higher frequency, which is indirectly related to speed.
Why do sound waves move around everyday objects whereas the bending of light is not generally observed?
its because the sound waves travel faster in air..... and also recommended the waves
What are similarities and differences between a sound waves and water waves in terms of medium?
Sound waves can move through almost any medium, although it moves more slowly through solid medium than gaseous. Water waves can move only through air or water.
How do sound wave move from place to place?
Waves more like vibrations that's more like how they move because vibrations move throught matter and then so does sound
Do light and sound both move in waves?
Light and sound both move in waves. Light is much faster than sound. Light waves are smaller than sound waves.
Are sound waves standing waves?
No, they can be caused by standing waves, but they move
Can sound waves be seen?
No, you cannot see sound waves. Sound waves move more quickly than we can process with our eyes. Technically, sound waves are invisible.
What do waves move through?
Different types of waves move in different patterns. Ocean waves move in a circular pattern while sound waves move in a sinusoidal pattern.
How are sound waves unique?
Sound waves move away from the source of energy, but other sorts of waves move perpendicular (at a right angle) to the energy source
Do sound waves move in a vacuum?
No.
How does sound move?
yes sound does moves the sound moves in waves
Does sound move?
yes sound does moves the sound moves in waves
How does light waves compare with sound waves?
Light waves are electromagnetic waves that move at the speed of light. Sound waves are compression waves that move through a medium (air, liquids, solids), with varying speeds according to the medium.
Why does the flame move with sound?
Sound waves cause movement of the flame.
How do sound waves move like water waves?
the answer is in the question, surely the question
Can sound waves move through space?
space is a vacuum, and sound can't move through a vacuum.
