Sound is caused by the vibration of the molecules in a medium. In most cases, this is air, but sometimes can be other materials (screaming underwater, metal on the traintracks).

In the tin can phone, the string carries the vibration from one end to the other, where it vibrates the air and becomes normal sound again.

How do you find an Irish private mobile phone number not listed in the phone directory?

If it's private, and not listed in the phone directory, then you probably won't find it by yourself. If you know the person you can ask them using email, snail mail, or land line, or even by talking to them. If you have a mutual acquaintance then maybe they can help you with the phone number. Remember that if someone has a private phone number it's because they don't want to be contacted. Are you sure they want to hear from you?
