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.

Why is a vibration of an object necessary for a sound wave to form?
sound waves cause the object to vibrate not vise versa
How does a sound wave begins?
vibration
What does sound waves mean?
Sound moves by vibration. It is conducted by the vibration of matter. That vibration oscillates up and down in crests and troughs (hi's and low's). The distance or "wave length" between one crest and the next is a sound wave.
Longitudinal wave caused by vibration carried through a medium?
Sound wave.
Why is a vibration necessary for a sound wave to form?
because its a mechanical wave, it requires an action to be formed and that produces energy ( as a 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).
Why is a vibration of an object necessary for a sound wave to form?
sound waves cause the object to vibrate not vise versa
What has to happen for a sound wave to happen?
For a sound wave to be created there has to be a vibration
How does a sound wave begins?
vibration

How does sound occur?
the lenght of the wave is depending on the vibration.
How does the vibration of a drum head cause a sound wave to form?
By passing the vibrations directly to the air in contact with its surface.
What is a sound wave made of?
A sound wave is simply a vibration in the air molecules, or the molecules of some other substance. This vibration propagates as a wave, the energy gets transferred somewhere else.
What does sound waves mean?

How long is a cycle in a sound wave?
A cycle in a sound wave is the time taken for one complete vibration.
How sound occurs?
the lenght of the wave is depending on the vibration.
What is sound wave made up of?
A sound wave is simply a vibration in the air molecules, or the molecules of some other substance. This vibration propagates as a wave, the energy gets transferred somewhere else.
