Sound is the periodic compression and rarefaction of a medium, this change being produced by a vibrating object or other medium mass. If something vibrates, it starts vibrating the air around at the same speed. These vibrations are transmitted through the medium and sound is produced. Basically, something shakes the air (or water or whatever) back and forth. The shaking gets passed on to all of the air (or whatever) around it, which causes times of higher and lower pressure with a regular rhythm.
