The sound is made of vibration so as it moves, it vibrates the material to carry the sound. This also depends on what kind of material.

Why does your speakers vibrate when it is to loud?
Because you have them too loud. It will ruin your speakers if you keep it up. Actually, they always vibrate - it is the conversion of electrical signals to sound waves that causes the cone of a speaker to move back and forth rapidly, creating the sound wave that we hear. If the vibrate is more of a 'buzz', then the speakers are being pushed beyond their capacity, and will fail, as the original poster noted. Sound IS vibration. The sound waves hit your ear, and they cause your ear muscles to vibrate back and forth, and small organs convert this physical movement back into electrical energy which your brain then recognizes as sound. Sound can not travel in a vaccuum, it needs air or another medium to travel through.
What does a microphone and speaker have in common?
They both convert between electrical impulses and sound waves. The microphone converts sound waves into electrical impulses and the loudspeaker converts electrical impulses into sound waves.
What are some technological applications of sound waves?
Sonar (or Sound Navigation and Ranging) is a type of technology that was designed to help with navigation, communication and locate objects underwater. Sonar projects sound waves then listens for the echo of the emitted sound waves to detect objects.
What is the technology that uses sound waves to find objects under water called?
SONAR (sound navigation and ranging)
How the radar is working?
Something to do with sound waves, like a bat uses to 'see'.
What materials will sound travel through?
Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.
What materials sound can travel through?
sound can travel through air , water and lots more
Can sound waves travel through clouds?
Yes, sound waves can travel through clouds.
Can sound travel through waves?
I'm pretty sure they can travel through matter It depends on the matter, but many materials will transmit sound.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas. They do not travel through vacuum.
What can sound waves get transferred through materials?
All sound waves can do that.
Sound waves cannot travel on the?
Sound waves cannot travel through vaccum.
How do sound waves travel to a satellite?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and, since space is a vacuum, sound waves can't travel in it.
Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves can not?
Radio waves travel through empty space because they are electromagnetic waves, whereas sound is a wave that must travel through air.
What can't sound travel through and why?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.
Why do light waves travel faster then sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves travel independently of the medium through which they travel -- while transparent matter can impede its passage, no transfer of energy from molecule to molecule is required as with sound waves and other vibrations. The speed of sound is limited by the motion of molecules, which is faster in denser materials.
Why do waves change speed as they travel through earths layer?
Different materials have different velocities of sound propagation.
