The schwa sound is a mid-central vowel which sounds like a grunt. It is the default sound for unaccented vowels in English.
In RP English in England the schwa sound is the same as the vowel sound in 'fir' or 'birch', or the /er/ in herd. In these combinations with "R" the schwa is an accented vowel. A word like "return" is another example. In English pronunciations both vowels are schwas.
There is a very similar vowel which is more a back vowel represented by the upside down V, (ʌ) sometimes called a pup tent, caret, or circumflex. Words beginning with an unaccented "a" like above, ago, or amount may start with this sound rather than a schwa depending on your regional dialect.
In most English accents unaccented syllables tend to move towards a schwa sound, no matter what their orthography. The "o" in memory, the first "e" in return, and the "i" in pencil are all pronounced as schwas.
