It paseses through this thing called air.
Sound wave can only travel in air and in current wires

Why sound cannot travel in a vacium?
Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, which can pass through a vacuum, but a vibration wave which requires matter to vibrate. A vacuum has no matter to vibrate, therefor sound cannot pass through it.
Why cant you hear the sun here on earth?
Because sound doesn't traverse through a vacuum, sound requires air to pass through in a wave (sound wave).
What wave cannot travel through empty space?
Any wave that requires a physical medium. Audio (sound pressure) waves, water waves, and "amber waves of grain" are all examples of waves that cannot travel through the vacuum of space.
Can sound wave pass through in vacuum?
No - sound wave cannot pass through "vacuum". It was Robert Boyle, English scientist who proved in 1960 that sound waves need to pass through a medium to transmit sound. This can be tested as follows: Place a bell inside a chamber and slowly start evacuating air from the chamber. It can be seen that sound of the bell is slowly becoming softer, until there is absolutely no sound.
Can sound travel through bricks?
Yes. Because sound is nothing but a mechanical wave. So it could pass through solid.
What mediums do sound move through?
Sound consists of a wave of vibrations of particles so it must have a material substance to pass through. So sound can pass through solids, liquids and gases but not through a vacuum. See http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/sound.htm
Why sound wave not travel in space?
Sound waves need to pass through a medium, ex. air water. there is no median in space
Matter which a wave travle?
Matter through which a wave travels is named as material medium. Example air is a material medium needed for sound waves to pass through
How many mediums can a sound wave pass through?
Solid, Liquid and Gas... These are the three things a sound wave can get trough... A sound-wave can get trough solid easily, because of all the particles, after that trough Liquid and at least trough Gas...
Why does a sound travels in solid liduid and gas but not in vaccum?
Sound is a mechanical wave which needs badly a material medium. Hence through vacuum it cannot pass through
A single bump or disturbance that travels through a medium?
Sound causes vibrations in waves that pass through a medium.
When would sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels fastest in a solid because the particles are closely packed meaning the particles can pass the sound wave on without any gaps in between. It travels through a gas the slowest as the particles are spaced out meaning they only occasionally bump into each other to pass on the sound wave.
