How does vibration cause sound?

Vibrations alter the density of the air (or other medium) around them. They do this as a wave. When the wave reaches a person's eardrum it makes it vibrate to the rhythm of the vibration. This is conducted to the brain via an electrical impulse and we hear it as sound.

Does sound make vibration or does vibration make sound?

Vibrations cause sounds. A sound wave is the vibration of the air around whatever is "causing" the sound (aka, whatever is causing the vibration--a guitar string, vocal cords, the mechanics of a stereo, etc).


How does vibration cause sound wave?

Vibration causes sound waves by creating disturbances in the air molecules around the vibrating object. These disturbances propagate as wave energy through the air, producing variations in air pressure that our ears detect as sound. The frequency and amplitude of the vibrations determine the pitch and loudness of the resulting sound wave.


What direction does air particles move when they cause vibration?

Air particles move back and forth in the direction of the vibration when they cause it. The energy from the vibrations is transferred through the air as sound waves.


How is sound produced?

Sound is produced by vibration in the air. For example, when you speak your vocal cords vibrate, causing a sound. Your ears sense the vibration and tell your brain about the change in environment.


Where do sounds come from?

it depends on how big or small the vibration is to determine the sound. The bigger the vibration, the lower the sound is. the smaller the vibration, the higher the sound.

How do sound waves create vibration in objects?

Sound waves create vibration in objects by transferring energy through the air or a medium. When sound waves reach an object, they cause the particles in the object to move back and forth rapidly, creating vibrations. These vibrations produce the sound that we hear.


Why is a vibration of an object necessary for a sound wave to form?

Vibration is necessary because it creates a disturbance in the medium (such as air) which then propagates as a wave. This disturbance causes molecules in the medium to oscillate back and forth, transferring energy and producing a sound wave. Without the initial vibration, there would be no energy to propagate the wave and create sound.
