Yes but the vibrations will cause phase variations in the waves in the material dependent on frequency of the source and the existing vibration.

What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
sound waves
What can't sound travel through and why?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.
What wave travels through only matter?
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
What medium sound waves travel through?
Sound waves can travel through any matter- liquid, gas or solids. The denser the matter, the faster the sound travels. It cannot travel through vacuum- a vacuum is an absence of matter.
Why don't we hear the sound explode on the sun?
Sound waves require something to travel through like air or water. The waves travel through this substance and into your ear, vibrating the eardrum. In the vacuum of space, there simply isn't enough of anything for the sound waves to travel through.
Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
How does sound travel through a string instrument?
it is produced by the string vibrating on the instrument when you strum it.
Do vibrating objects produce sound?
if they are in a void no matter how much the object vibrates it won't produce any sound waves
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
sound waves

What wave travels through only matter?
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
What are a sound wave?
Yes, sound waves are pressure waves that travel through matter.
What happens to the sound waves when it enter into vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.
Do sound waves vibrate the air?
No. Vibrating air IS sound waves. With no atmosphere (no air, like in space), there are no sound waves.
How is the sound produced from the bass clarinet?
The player blows through the mouthpiece, vibrating the reed. These vibrations make sound waves, producing sound.
How do instruments work?
by vibrating sound waves
