No, you cannot see sound waves. Sound waves move more quickly than we can process with our eyes. Technically, sound waves are invisible.

Can sound waves come in color?
No, sound waves are invisible because it is actually a longitudinal wave caused by compressions and rarefactions. The propagation of sound waves cannot be seen, unlike what is perhaps portrayed in some cartoons for entertainment purposes. But if you are talking about a computer applet to demonstrate sound waves, then yes, it can come in colour.
Water waves are longitudial waves?
Waves formed on the surface of water are transverse in nature. But sound waves when propagated through water medium then that will be in longitudinal nature. Cannot be seen on the surface.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
Does a soft sound have tall waves?
No, soft sound waves have short waves. Loud sound waves are the ones that have tall waves.
Why are sound waves are described as pressure waves?
Sound waves are described as pressure waves because waves produces pressure by which sound is produces
What are 2 energy waves that cant be seen?
Heat waves (infared) and sound waves.

Light waves are classified as what waves?
Optical light waves are "Electromagnetic" waves. The colour seen is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves where the oscillation is 90 degrees to the direction of travel (unlike sound waves which are longitudinal).
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
What sound waves do?
Sound waves carry sound
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
Does a soft sound have tall waves?
No, soft sound waves have short waves. Loud sound waves are the ones that have tall waves.
Why are sound waves are described as pressure waves?
Sound waves are described as pressure waves because waves produces pressure by which sound is produces
What does sound travel on?
Waves; sound waves.
Why can supernove explosion in space can be seen but not heard?
because sound waves cannot travel through space
What waves can you produce in a rope by snapping it up and down?
Transverse waves are the waves produced by moving a rope up and down. These are the types of waves seen in the ocean and in electromagnetic radiation (EM has two sets of waves perpendicular to one another and 90 degrees out of phase, for the electric and magnetic fields). Longitudinal waves are different...they are compression waves seen in sound.
