This is known as 'Sound Cancellation' or deconstructive interference. It occurs when two waves 180º out of phase of and of equal magnitude combine. The resulting wave has zero magnitude and thus cannot be heard.

Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
What is it called when two sound waves combine so that the compressions of one wave overlap the rarefactions of another wave to produce a softer sound?
noise cancelling
What causes sound waves to travel?
the vibration of the particles of medium of the sound waves causes the sound waves to travel
What occurs when sound waves overlap and combine?
interference
Bats can sense obstacles because they produce 1. supersonic sound waves 2. ultrasonic sound waves 3.infrasonic sound waves 4. micro Sound waves?
ultrasonic sound waves

How do vibrations produce sound waves?
sound waves dont produce vibrations, vibrations are sound waves.

What kind of waves produce sound energy?
sound waves
What causes sound waves to travel?
the vibration of the particles of medium of the sound waves causes the sound waves to travel
What occurs when sound waves overlap and combine?
interference
What is the energy source for sound waves?
That varies, depending on what causes the sound waves.
What kind of sound waves do vacuums produce?
The vacuum does not produce sound waves nor, can sound waves travel through them. A sound wave needs something to travel on/through, such as air. A vacuum doesn't contain any particles required for sound waves.

ultrasonic sound waves
What causes sound waves?
intensity
How does a guitar produce sound waves?
well the sound goes into the soundhole and then the sound waves form in the air lol thanksx
What is the origin of all sounds?
The origin of all sound is essentially the basic concept of a transfer of energy into an object which causes it to vibrate. This vibration causes sound waves to be created in the medium in which you are in (usually air). These waves cause chain reactions of compressions and rarefactions in the air which eventually get to you and produce the effect that humans know as sound.
