Sometimes you feel the vibrations from a sound source before you hear the source itself Why is this?
Sound travels in waves. Our ears register these waves and convert them into noise; however, our ears can only detect a very small range of sound waves. Many sound waves have a frenquency that is much too high or too low for our ears to "hear". If you've ever blown a dog whistle and made your pup yelp in pain while you couldn't hear a thing then you understand. The vibrations that you feel are low frequency sound waves which your body can feel but your ears can't hear. It is only when the higher frequency waves get to you that you hear the source.

How is the vibrations that we feel related to the sound we hear?
Sound is a vibration that propagates as a wave. Generally speaking, if you can feel a vibration, you can't hear it - and vice versa. That's because you can only hear vibrations of 20 Hz (20 cycles per second) or more; but you are usually not able to feel anything, if it vibrates that quickly. Of course, most naturally-occurring sounds are a mix of different frequencies, so in some cases you may be able to both hear and feel, especially if the sound is very loud.
