The transfer of energy in sound wave is by the atoms of that medium. When mechanical energy is given by our mouth in the atoms near the mouth, the atoms gain the mechanical energy and convert it into kinetic energy and begin to move within their mean positions and while moving they hit each other and the energy is
is transferred to the other electron and this process continues until due to some factors the energy is transferred and heard by an observer at the other end.
Sound waves require a material medium for their transmission. The transfer of energy in sound will not occur in a vacuum.

What kind of wave uses matter to transfer energy?
A sound wave or an ocean wave, for example
Does a sound wave transfer energy by moving the medium parallel to the motion of the wave?
yes
What is a disturbance that carries energy through matter and space?
That is basically the description of a WAVE.
Does an electromagnetic wave use matter to transfer energy?
No, an electromagnetic wave does not require matter (a medium) to transfer energy. Electromagnetic energy (like light or radio waves) travels perfectly well in the vacuum of space. In contrast, a mechanical wave, of which sound is an example, does require a medium through which to travel.
What does a wave do?
It moves energy through space.
In a sound wave why does the vibrations and energy transfer go in the same direction?
A sound wave is a longitudinal wave.thus the vibratoins and energy transfer go in the same direction
What kind of wave uses matter to transfer energy?
A sound wave or an ocean wave, for example
Does a sound wave transfer energy by moving the medium parallel to the motion of the wave?
yes
How is a sound wave interacted with matter?
reflection ,transfer energy, and ,be absorbent
Is there transfer of energy from one molecule to another as a sound wave?
yes
What type of wave is the method of sound energy transfer?
Sound travels in mechanical longitudinal waves.
How do vibrations produce sound?
A sound wave is a transfer of energy as it travels away from a vibrating source.
What is needed in transmation of suond?
Actually wave is a disturbance in the medium. For transfer of sound wave the medium is required.(gas, liquid or solid). the sound wave transfers energy with the molecules of medium by the molecule to molecule the wave will spread out until, the complete loose of energy of the wave.

What is transferred on a wave?
Many things travel in waves: light, energy, water, and sound.
