Not exactly- sounds are transmitted as vibrations in the air which are picked up by the cochlea in the inner ear. The cochlea contains tiny hair follicles which are attached to minute chalk granules called otoliths- these are made to vibrate by the soundwaves and send electrical signals up the auditory nerve, which the brain interprets as the many different sounds and noises that we hear.

What sounds do elephants make?

Elephants make a number of sounds. They make specific sounds related to sex and danger which we can hear and understand. However, they have a much larger number of sounds which are too low in frequency (infra sound) for our ears to hear which is propagated via the elephant's legs and feet through the ground over great distances. The most common sound (that we can hear) that elephants make is called trumpeting. We can also hear them make a low rumbling noise. Examples of this can be heard by clicking on the related link.
