How do sound waves produce sound?

They vibrate your ear drums and your brain translates that into sound.


As sound enters the ear it vibrates the at the boundary between the outer ear and middle ear and causing the sound waves to them vibrate the hammer?

ear drum


How does the eardrum vibrate in response to sound waves?

When sound waves reach the eardrum, they cause it to vibrate. The vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear bones to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound.


How does sound travel through the air?

it travels because there are sound waves in the air and they vibrate in your ear.


How does sound travel to your ear?

Sound travels to your ear as air particles vibrate when sound waves are created. These vibrations enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. The vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.


What is the middle ear used for?

The middle ear contains the three auditory ossicles, which vibrate to transfer the sound to the cochlea in the inner ear.


Why does sound travel through the air?

Sounds vibrate the air molecules, when the vibrating molecules reach your ear, you ear the sound, there are no molecules in space, thus no sound in space


What vibrates as sound waves hit it?

Your eardrums vibrate when sound waves hit them. The sound wave travels through the auditory canal which funnels the sound to the ear drum causing it to vibrate. The ear drum then amplifies the sound by vibration of bones. It is in the middle ear where sound energy is converted into mechanical energy. The cochlea in the inner ear converts the vibrations into electrical impulses before sending signals to the brain. The brain then interprets the impulses as sound.


Where are sound vibrations first received?

Sound vibrations are first received in the outer ear, specifically the ear canal. The vibrations travel through the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate.


What is the anvil in your ear used for?

Sound travels by vibrating things. First the molecules in the air vibrate. This makes the ear drum vibrate. This makes three small bones vibrate. The three bones are the anvil, hammer and the stirrup.


What job does the ear canal do?

The ear canal would collect sound from the pinna(pinna is another name for outer ear) and directs it to the ear drums to vibrate.


How does sound travel from a source into your ear?

Sound travels from a source as a series of compressions and rarefactions in the air (sound waves). These waves enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. The vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear bones to the cochlea in the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.
