We can only hear sound travel because there is a medium that produces a disturbance so our ears can detect it. Can the energy that produces sound travel through space without us hearing it?

No. The medium carries the energy. No medium = no sound + no energy + nothing heard.

What are the events that occur starting from an object vibrating to you hearing the sound?
When an object vibrates it produces disturbance in the medium and then the compressions and rarefactions produced travels through the medium to our ears from the vibrator and hence the sound is perceived.
Does a periodic disturbance of a medium describe a wave?
No. If it happens that the disturbance propagates through the medium, i.e. spreads out from the disturbed point, then the phenomenon that travels away from the disturbance and through the medium describes the wave.
What is a longitutional wave?
A wave is some sort of disturbance, which propagates through matter or space. If the disturbance is along the direction of the propagation (of the wave movement), the wave is said to be longitudinal. If the disturbance is at a right angle to the wave movement, the wave is said to be transversal.A wave is some sort of disturbance, which propagates through matter or space.

What is a disturbance that travels through mediums?
Wave motion
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave?
Light does that.
Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium as a?
Longitudinal wave
What is the disturbance that transfers energy through a field?
Radio wave
What is the disturbance that transfers energy through field?
Radio wave
What wave is sound that is a disturbance which travels through a medium?
Longitudinal
What is the material a disturbance travels through?
The disturbance is generally called a "wave", and the material (which may be empty space in some cases!) is called the "medium".
What is the disturbance that travels sound waves?
The disturbance that travels sound waves is the wave itself. A wave, which is the motion of energy, is defined as a disturbance that travels through a medium whether it's air, liquid or a solid.
Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium?
a medium as longitude wave
