Sound is a mechanical wave that travels as a difference of pressure through a medium that is a solid, liquid or gas. It has a frequency within the limits of hearing, which for humans is usually considered between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz (20 to 20,000 cycles per second). This is not an absolute range; many can hear sounds above 20,000 Hz. The sound also has to be of sufficient strength to actually be heard, otherwise it is not sound.
