No. Vibrating air IS sound waves.
With no atmosphere (no air, like in space), there are no sound waves.

An insect that produces waves in the water and in the air what can these air vibrations produce?
These waves in the air are called Sound waves, waves that vibrate in the air and if your hearing is good these vibrations will vibrate our ear drums and cause us to hear them as noise or sound.
How does sound travel through the air?
it travels because there are sound waves in the air and they vibrate in your ear.
How does sound change into movement?
Movement causes the air to vibrate. This creates sound waves.
What aerophone is an instrument that causes to vibrate thus creating sound waves.?
air
What type of energy is the movement of waves that vibrate air molecules?
sound
Does sound waves make air molecules vibrate?
vibrations make air molecules move
What must happen in order for sound waves to form?
Something must vibrate, to make the air (or whatever else the sound travels through) vibrate.
An aerophone is an instrument that causes what to vibrate thus creating sound waves?
air
Sound waves are waves of vibrating what?
Sound waves are waves of vibrations. When you speak, you vibrate a few air molecules, which vibrate and hit other air molecules, then more and more. when the molecules in your ear vibrate, you hear sound. But really, you feel the vibrations. Then why do we say hear, instead of feel? Because we are already used to saying hear. you wouldn't come to your friend and say, "Speak louder! I can't feel you!"
How does sound waves travel and produce sound?
Sound waves traveling through air are indeed longitudinal waves with compressions and rarefactions. As sound passes through air (or any fluid medium), the particles of air donot vibrate in a transverse manner.Soundis produced when something vibrates. The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.) around it to vibrate. Vibrations in air are called traveling longitudinal waves, which we can hear. Sound waves consist of areas of high and low pressure called compressions and rarefactions, respectively.
How do sound waves create matter?
They don't create matter and we know this by the law of conservation of mass. Sound waves exist as variations of pressure in a medium such as air. They are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the air surrounding it to vibrate. The vibrating air then causes the human eardrum to vibrate, which the brain interprets as sound.
What is conversion of sound energy when you speak?
Sound is waves of compression. When you speak, your vocal cords vibrate setting up pressure waves that move through the air.
