Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas; particularly, sound means those vibrations composed of frequencies capable of being detected by ears.
Our ear drums are moved only by sound pressure deviantions through air.

∙ 8y agoWhen sound hits a surface, it is either transmitted through the material or reflected back out, similar as light is. When sound is transmitted through matter, it is diffused (or spread out) by said matter; and also a small portion of the sound is converted to energy (such as heat).
This is based on my personal understanding, it may not be 100% accurate but I you out.

∙ 14y agoThe fleshy part of ear, the pinna, collects the sound. The sound wave then travels through the auditory canal which funnels the sound to the ear drum causing it to vibrate. The ear drum then amplifies the poo sound by vibration of bones. It is in the middle ear where sound energy is converted into mechanical energy. The cochlea in the inner ear converts the vibrations into electrical impulses before sending signals to the brain. The brain then interprets the impulses as sound.

The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to A- carry the sound energy to the brain B- collect the sound waves C- amplify the received sound D- vibrate with the frequency of the received sound?
The answer is -D.
How does echolocation in the toothed whales work where is the sound produced what role does the melon play how does the sound get back to the ear?
The melon sends out the Sound waves and they are received through the Jaw.. The Ears are not used.
What part of the ear is sound produced by?
The ear does not produce (make) sound.
As sound enters the ear it vibrates the at the boundary between the outer ear and middle ear and causing the sound waves to them vibrate the hammer?
ear drum
Is it true that the funnel for sound waves in the ear is the outer ear?
it the ear canal
The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to A- carry the sound energy to the brain B- collect the sound waves C- amplify the received sound D- vibrate with the frequency of the received sound?
The answer is -D.
What structure vibrates with the frequency of the received sound?
air around youair in your earseardrum membranethe 3 bones in the earcochlear membraneliquid in the cochleahair cells lining the cochlea
What is sounding in science?
Sound is basically the physiological sensation received by the ear. It is cause due to vibrations.
Why can you not hear any sound in a vacuum?
Sound is produced when a certain thing causes the gas, water, or solid around your ear to vibrate, which in turn, is then received by the ear drum. When you are in a vacuum, there is no gas, liquid, or solid that sound is able to travel by.
What does the outer ear do to sound waves?
to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear
How does echolocation in the toothed whales work where is the sound produced what role does the melon play how does the sound get back to the ear?
The melon sends out the Sound waves and they are received through the Jaw.. The Ears are not used.
Which part of the ear traps sound?
The Pinna which is the external ear
What part of the ear is sound produced by?
The ear does not produce (make) sound.
The sound travels at the speed of light to your ear?
No, not quite. The sound travels at the speed of sound to your ear.
How do you hear sound through the ear?
when you hear things, its really sound waves. the sound waves enter your ear, then it vibrates the ear drum.
Where in the human body can you find the cochlea?
The cochlea is located at the end of the ear canal - inside the ear. It contains fluid and microscopic hairs (cilia). Sound waves received by the ear causes movement of the cilia - which is interpreted by the brain.
Does the anvil collect sound?
The pinna (external ear) collects the sound and channels the sound into the ear canal.
