Not exactly- sounds are transmitted as vibrations in the air which are picked up by the cochlea in the inner ear. The cochlea contains tiny hair follicles which are attached to minute chalk granules called otoliths- these are made to vibrate by the soundwaves and send electrical signals up the auditory nerve, which the brain interprets as the many different sounds and noises that we hear.
