It depends what the Xylophone is made out of but the noes are short in duration.
The metal or wooden bars vibrate and push and pull the air particles around them. With a name that means, "the hitting of one body against another," instruments in the percussion family are played by being struck, shaken, or scraped. In the orchestra, the percussion section provides a variety of rhythms, textures and tone colors. Percussion instruments are classified as tuned or untuned. Tuned instruments play specific pitches or notes, just like the woodwind, brass and string instruments. Untuned instruments produce a sound with an indefinite pitch, like the sound of a hand knocking on a door. The percussion instruments are an international family, with ancestors from the Middle East, Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe representing musical styles from many different cultures. First used in the orchestra just over a century ago, the xylophone is a tuned instrument made of hardwood bars in graduated lengths set horizontally on a metal frame. With the larger, lower-sounding bars on the left, the notes of the xylophone are laid out much like a piano keyboard. Striking the bars with hard mallets produces a bright, sharp sound. The xylophone was originally modeled after an African instrument and its name is Greek, meaning "wood sound".
When you strike the key with the mallet, the vibrations shoot through the key and into the pipe below. The vibrations can be altered according to the thickness and size of the key (to shape the pitch of the note) and resonate in the pipes to create the sound.
it sounds like a hollow,yet bright, and somewhat pingy piano.
The word "xylophone" comes from the Greek meaning "wooden sounds."

Most percussion and string instruments operate of vibrations to produce sound. Drum heads, xylophone bars, strings and reeds all vibrate on instruments that use them to produce sound.
Sound is produced by the vibrations created by objects. The wooden stick of the xylophone striking its metal part creates a vibration that produces the xylophone's sound.
The vibration of the different keys you hit vibrate the air molecules around it which the ear picks up and you interpret as sound.
