The nature of sound can be based on three characteristics. First, sound is a form of energy. This is because sound has amplitude and frequency. Sound also has a high velocity both through air and water as its conductors.

Where do sound waves originate?
All sound waves originate from a source that causes the vibration of air particles.
What distance does sound travel through a solid?
There is no limiting distance. But just like in any other medium, the sound generally spreads out and its amplitude decreases as it proceeds farther, so there's some distance past which you can't detect it any more, and to all appearances, you would say that the sound has not traveled any further than that. The distance depends on the substance, and on the amplitude of the sound at its source. (Sound waves that originate in thunder travel many miles through the ground. Sound waves that originate in earthquakes travel many hundreds, or thousands, of miles through rock.)
What causes shock waves?
A shock wave is generally thought of as a compression wave that radiates from a mechanical event, like an explosion. Same thing with earthquakes. There is a compression wave in all these events. We can see a compression wave originate from something breaking the sound barrier, and that's another example. Something moving faster than sound generates the shock wave on a continuous basis, and we hear the boom! as the wave reaches us. The same thing applies in sonar when the transmitter emits a "ping" into the water. The transducer vibrates, and a compression wave is generated. Where a source of mechanical energy causes movement, a compression wave can originate and radiate. It could be argued that compression waves originate from a source of sound. That's because sound is a mechanical wave, as it is mechanical energy. Certainly it generally isn't thought of as having the power of an explosion, though. In addition to the compression waves of sound, there are the "opposite" waves. These are areas where the air is rarefied or "uncompressed" between the areas where the compression waves are traveling. A shock wave is usually the term we apply to the leading edge of a compression wave from some mechanical event. It is carrying mechanical energy outward from the cause.

Where do sound waves originate?

Where sound energy originate?
It originate in moon and outer space and planets
When one ear is plugged with cotton where did the sound is originate?
Clarify the answer please?
How does sound waves in ocean help dolphins communicate?
When sound originate in the water, the sound waves tend to refract down, toward the cooler water.
Where did the word flip-flop originate?
It is an "onomatopoeic" ("onomatopoeia" = the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named) name. When you walk in them the sound like "flip" "flop".
Where does the word telephone originate?
tele - from the greek means 'at or over a distance' phone - from the greek means 'sound'
What country did the last name Hudock originate form?
Could be Ukrainian, by the sound of it. This means "a loud horn".
Can sound waves originate in a small space and spread out to cover a bigger space?
As of being waves, sound waves does just that. They start from origin and spread out. Sound waves will however quickly fade with distance and time.
Where did vine with people making click sound and saying or not originate from?
Sorry, your question, as you have asked it, makes no sense. For this reason we can not answer you.
Where dalmatians come from?
dalmatians actually originate from dalmatia which of course is were the DALMATIAn gets it name from although it does sound fake its true !!
