The short answer is yes. Sound is the vibration of molecules and is transmitted by the molecules bumping into each other unlike light which Is the movement of a photon through space. For this reason sound does not travel in a vacuum. The vibrating air molecules vibrate against a sensitive structure in the ear which the brain transforms into sounds.

Does sound travel through rock?
yes because of the vibration that goes through the rocks.
What kind of substances can sound travel through?
Everything. We're all a vibration.
How does sound travel through a drum?
It gos throught the drum from help from vibration
What is true about sound in a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, it needs a medium to travel through as its the vibration of particles that allows its energy to progress
What is needed for a sound to travel?
Particles, e.g gas particles in air, because sound travels through the vibration of particles. Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum, as there are no particles.
How does light and sound waves travel?
vibration
Does sound travel through rock?
yes because of the vibration that goes through the rocks.
What is sound and how does it travel?
Sound is the vibration of molecules transferred through compression like waves.
Can people here sound in space?
No. Sound is the vibration of air. Sound will not travel in a vacuum. Space is a vacuum
Does sound travel in waves?
Sound (and vibration) waves may only travel in some medium. Such as air, metal and so on. They cannot travel in a vacuum.
What waves sound waves travel in?

Why do sound waves travel worse through air?
sound waves does not travel through long distance because in sound waves particles vibration is parallel to the direction of wave propagation due to this one particle is collide with other particle so because of this back and forth vibration sound waves travel worse through air
What kinds of substances can sound waves travel through?
Everything. We're all a vibration.
