No. There is no sound wave below the atomic or molecular level. A sound wave is mechanical energy that is the result of the stimulation of groups of atoms or molecules. Sound cannot travel unless it can impart mechanical energy into the medium through which it is going to travel. And the atoms and/or molecules of a medium react to the mechanical stimulation and create and provide a medium of travel for the energy. Sound can move from one medium to another, as you might have guessed.

Is sound wave electron?
no.
What subatomic particle has the longest wave length a neutron proton electron or alpha particle?
energy
What is the smallest unit of sound wave energy?
The smallest unit of sound wave energy is the phonon. The phonon and the photon and the electron can in some ways all behave like a small particle.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
Is a sound wave a electromaginic wave?
No. A sound wave is a pressure wave.
Is a EM wave a sound wave?
electromagnetic wave is not a sound wave

What does air column mean in musical terms?
Music, like all sound is made up of sound waves traveling through the air. On a string instrument, the sound wave originates with a wave (actually many waves) on a vibrating string. Wind instruments don't have a string, and the sound you hear doesn't sound much like the vibrating reed of a woodwind or the vibrating lips of a brass players. We hear a wave that is established in the air inside the instrument. Of course, air moves through and out of an instrument, but the wave doesn't leave the instrument. A corresponding sound wave, which we hear, is created outside the instrument, but the wave inside the instrument doesn't leave the instrument any more than the wave on a string leaves the string. We need a term to describe the air that is inside the instrument - the air where the wave is established and that term is "column of air."
Is a compression wave a sound wave?
yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave
What type of wave is sound wave?
A sound wave is considered a sinusoidal wave.
Why it is time delay in photoelectric effect when assume light as a wave?
This is because of the the fact that , the inter-particle interaction between electron-proton and electron-neutron, taken one attosecond to cease, only after which can a photoelectron be liberated from the forces of attraction and repulsions within the atom.
What type of s mechanical wave is a sound wave?
sound wave is a longitudinal wave
