I imagine that air is a substract that enables the sound to travel and be heard. Sound is constituted of a wide range of wave lenghts whose audible range is about 20 to 20000 hz/s. This is my personal understanding about this subject. If you want more accurate informations please consult Wikipedia and write "sound" in the searching combo.

How do sound waves travel what do sound waves need in order to travel?
sound waves bounce off of walls. they need air to travel.
What can you hear when a bell rings in a vacuum?
No sound. Beacuse sound need air to travel..
Why sound wave not travel in space?
Sound waves need to pass through a medium, ex. air water. there is no median in space
Can sound waves travel through air?
Yes sound waves can make a sound in the air
Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?
Sound will travel better in string because speed of sound on solids is greater than that in air. As string is a solid so sound will travel faster (or better) in string than in air

Do you need air for sound to travel?
Sounds are pressure waves - and they need something (medium) to compress and rarefy. Air is one medium, but water, steel, rock and most other substances can have sound waves.In vacuum there is nothing, no medium, so no sound can travel.
Do you need air to have sound?
It doesn't have to be air, but some medium for the wave to travel through, since it is mechanical.
What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
Can sound waves travel through air?
Yes sound waves can make a sound in the air
Why sound wave not travel in space?
Sound waves need to pass through a medium, ex. air water. there is no median in space
Do air particles travel with sound sound waves?
since sound needs a medium for its propagation , it requires air particles to travel along with its waves.
Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?
Sound will travel better in string because speed of sound on solids is greater than that in air. As string is a solid so sound will travel faster (or better) in string than in air
Which is better for sound to travel solid or air?
Air
Explain why a sound wave can't travel from a satellite to earth?
In space there is no air. Sound waves need a medium for transportation. Therefore we cannot hear any sound in a vacuum. In films they play us music from the outer space. But that is not possible in reality.
What does sound travel slowest in?
by air
