What sounds travel through gas?

Sounds travel through gas by creating pressure waves that propagate through the molecules of the gas. As the pressure waves travel through the gas, they compress and rarefy the molecules, transmitting the sound energy from one point to another. Examples of gases that sound can travel through include air, carbon dioxide, and helium.
