Your ears don't pick up the sound, by the way. Well, you should know that sound is actually a wave that is vibrating. When sound is realeased, the wave travels until it halts. IF your in the distance of the waves aim, the wave will hit your ear drum. Then it vibrates into your ear, and your brain translates it for you. Then you hear sound.
