Yes, provided there is a material medium between the vibrating object and your ear. Note that you'll perceive the sound only of the rate of vibration is between roughly 20 and 20,000 vibrations per second. If outside that frequency range, then the 'sound' is there, but your hearing system doesn't perceive it.

What is required for sound to travel?
Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids. It also requires a source of vibration or disturbance, such as a vibrating object or a sound wave. The vibrations create pressure waves that travel through the medium, and when those waves reach our ears, we perceive them as sound.
An object vibrating in response to sound?
yes sounds are made when objects vibrate because if you hit a drum or any other instrument then it vibrates and makes a sound. you could test this by hitting or banging a instrument and touch it lightly, see if it does vibrate?
Why do windows vibrate when sound hits them?
Sound waves propagate as a longitudinal waves. Any wave has some frequency and some wavelength. More the frequency more energy it possesses and hence its intensity increases so when such a wave hits something you can sometimes see the object vibrating. Also sound waves do not travel in space.
What is acoustic insulation?
Acoustic insulation of airborne sound, also known as soundproofing are any means of reducing the pressure of sound from the sound source.
What property of sound changes due to Doppler Effect?
The frequency of any wave system, sound or electromagnetic, will be changed by the source object moving towards us, or away from us. Ascending Doppler shift for those approaching us, descending pitch for those departing.
Do vibrating objects produce sound?
if they are in a void no matter how much the object vibrates it won't produce any sound waves
Why does a vibrating pendulum not produce any sound?
A vibrating simple pendulum does not produce any sound because it oscillates at very low frequencies.
Where can sound come from?
Any vibrating set of particles, eg air.
Does a low pitch sound have a low frequency?
A sound wave, like any other wave, is introduced into a medium by a vibrating object. The vibrating object is the source of the disturbance that moves through the medium. The vibrating object that creates the disturbance could be the vocal cords of a person, the vibrating string and sound board of a guitar or violin, the vibrating tines of a tuning fork, or the vibrating diaphragm of a radio speaker. Regardless of what vibrating object is creating the sound wave, the particles of the medium through which the sound moves is vibrating in a back and forth motion at a given frequency. The frequency of a wave refers to how often the particles of the medium vibrate when a wave passes through the medium. The frequency of a wave is measured as the number of complete back-and-forth vibrations of a particle of the medium per unit of time. If a particle of air undergoes 1000 longitudinal vibrations in 2 seconds, then the frequency of the wave would be 500 vibrations per second. A commonly used unit for frequency is the Hertz (abbreviated Hz), where 1 Hertz = 1 vibration/second As a sound wave moves through a medium, each particle of the medium vibrates at the same frequency. This is sensible since each particle vibrates due to the motion of its nearest neighbor. The first particle of the medium begins vibrating, at say 500 Hz, and begins to set the second particle into vibrational motion at the same frequency of 500 Hz. The second particle begins vibrating at 500 Hz and thus sets the third particle of the medium into vibrational motion at 500 Hz. The process continues throughout the medium; each particle vibrates at the same frequency. And of course the frequency at which each particle vibrates is the same as the frequency of the original source of the sound wave. Subsequently, a guitar string vibrating at 500 Hz will set the air particles in the room vibrating at the same frequency of 500 Hz, which carries a sound signal to the ear of a listener, which is detected as a 500 Hz sound wave.

Where is the area of vibrating source of a french horn?
Just like any brass instrument, the vibrating comes from the lips of the player within the mouthpiece, which is amplified by the rest of the instrument.

What is percusision instrument?
A percussion instrument is any object which produces a sound when struck with another object, or produces a sound when shaken, rubbed, or scraped.
What is the actual source of our earth's gravity?
Mass is the source of Earth's gravity. Any object that has mass has gravity.
Is there any object that is faster than sound?
Jet planes often fly faster than sound.
How does sound get a low pitch and a high pitch?
Pitch is determined by vibration frequency. A guitar string vibrating at 440 times a second will product a perfectly tuned "A" note. A string vibrating any faster than this will produce a higher pitch, and any slower will produce a lower pitch.
