Sound is only the transference of energy via vibration of the molecules in the transmitting medium.

Ie sound in air is the air molecules being vibrated by a stimulus say a load speaker or your vocal cords.

We hear sound by receiving the vibrations on our ear drums which is converted in the inner ear into electricity which our brains interpret as noise.

Our own voices sound different to us when recorded and played back, as most of what we hear of our own voice is from vibration through the bones in your jaw and skull, which transmit at different speeds and therefore frequencies.

When might kinetic energy turn into sound energy?

Kinetic energy turns into sound energy when an object in motion interacts with air molecules, causing them to vibrate and create sound waves. This can happen when an object moves quickly or collides with another object, converting its kinetic energy into sound energy.

What makes sound louder or quiet?

Sound is determined by the amount of energy the source produces. A louder sound is created by a source that produces more energy, while a quieter sound is produced by a source with less energy. The amplitude or intensity of the sound wave also plays a role in determining the volume of the sound.


What is an example of sound energy to electrical energy?

a horn for example. one that a clown would squeak. when you press down on it, it makes a sound. those waves go into the air and become electric energy. :)
