A mechanical wave is any wave pattern that results from one or many forces. A mechanical wave can be a transverse wave, such as seen on a violin string, or a longditudinal wave, such as sound waves.
Why is a longitudinal mechanical wave a sound wave?
a longitudinal wave is a vibration like sound therfore a longditudinal wave is a sound. The pressure Vibrations of frequency between 16 - 20000 hertz, which propagates in medium we perceive as a sound. But longitudinal mechanical wave is not necessarily sound - for example wave along the spring, or density waves forming spiral structure of galaxies!
