Best Answer

There are several types of wave energy.

Sound waves carry energy from the source of the sound to your ears. Loud sounds can damage your ears, and even make windows rattle.

Light waves are another form of wave energy. Laser beams are very powerful light beams that can cut or weld metals.

Water waves can carry a surfboard rider to the beach, damage jetties and change the shape of the coastline.

Shock waves produced by earthquakes can make buildings move and do enormous amounts if damage.

Our ear drums and microphone diaphragms are moved by sound pressure motions and not by sound energy or sound intensity.
