Yes sound can travel through matter. Sound is just a cyclic change in pressure. You can prove this to yourself by placing your ear on a wall and knocking on the wall. You will notice that the sound is much louder with you ear pressed against the wall as opposed to not pressed against the wall. This pressure wave in matter causes the motion of particles within the matter causing compressions and expansions. This occurs regardless of the phase of matter, be it liquid, gas, or solid. Hope that helps
Robert Boyle (1660) discovered that sound must travel in a medium. http://www.newi.ac.uk/buckleyc/sound.htm
Leonardo da vinci discovered that sound travels in waves in the 1500s, though many other scientists built on this theory.
Can you hear this?
How about this?
Okay, I guess sound doesn't travel then.
vibrations
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.
Sound travels by vibrating through matter (solid, liquid, gas) A vacuum is the absence of matter and with out matter there is nothing for sound to travel through
yes., sound can travel through plasma because it is matter.
Sound waves can travel through any matter- liquid, gas or solids. The denser the matter, the faster the sound travels. It cannot travel through vacuum- a vacuum is an absence of matter.
Sound needs a matter based medium, so it will not travel through vacuum.
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.

Through waves
Sound waves travel through matter. Our atmosphere is a mixture of gases which is a form of matter. Sound waves will travel through our atmosphere, even if there is no human ear to receive it.
matter
I'm pretty sure they can travel through matter It depends on the matter, but many materials will transmit sound.
Sound waves travel through the three states of matter (gas, liquid and solid) by vibrations.
