They use them to hear things, and in so doing, to gain information of their environment,
in order to enhance their safety and security as they make their way through their world.
In that regard, they strongly resemble many other members of the animal kingdom.

To communicate. They do not use words so body language and sounds are used.
Take horses for example, if one is worried, it will put its ears back, try to move away and if restricted, squeal. An angry horse might give chase and will scream with ears back and head out, sometimes kicking too. a happy one may nuzzle you, and maybe do a few little murmuring noises, looking generally adorable. Same with cats or dogs, they might growl or hiss or purr or bark, all to communicate. otherwise none of them would know what others are saying

This is a philosophical question. The easy answer is for communication. But other animals also make sound and at what point in time did people start making sound?

Maybe then we can answer "why."

Your vocal chords vibrate together in your throat, and it creates sound. Actually, if you talk and gently touch your throat, you can feel it.

They communicate through sound by making sounds, depending on what tone they use.

Animals make sounds to communicate to each other, to warn of danger, to let other animals in the group know where they are etc.
