Yes, it can if it is loud enough and of the correct pitch. Glass will shatter at a certain frequency, which differs with the type of glass. The proper sound can break it without hurting you in the slightest. Or it can deafen you if it is loud enough.

There are a few ways that sound can break a glass. The easiest is amplification, raising the volume of the sound until the pressure shatters the glass. The second is just a very loud, sudden sound that deforms the glass before it can conduct the vibrations. The third is resonance, choosing a frequency that causes sympathetic oscillation of the molecules of the glass, so that an increasing amplitude of distortions shatters the glass (as with the first two types of sound).
Prolonged loud sounds can destroy your hearing ability without much physical damage to the eardrum itself. However, a sudden pressure wave (as from an explosion or from a very loud and sudden sound) can push in and rupture the eardrum. The only way to attenuate the pressure is by opening your mouth, so that your throat and the eustachian tubes carry the same pressure to the rear of the eardrums. This will decrease the inward force on the eardrum.
What else can I help you with?
As sound enters the ear it vibrates the at the boundary between the outer ear and middle ear and causing the sound waves to them vibrate the hammer?
ear drum
What is the pressure of a sound on an ear drum?
The sound pressure wave is travelling down the ear canal, hits the area of the eardrum, which vibrates ... just like a drum! Sound pressure p = force F divided by area A.
How do loud sounds affect the ear drum?
Your ear drum senses vibrations, those vibrations are sounds you hear. If we did not have our ear drums sound would simple float through it. If you bust your ear drum you will lose your hearing. Does that answer you question?
Is pinna part of the ear?
Yes, the pinna is the visible external part of the ear that helps collect sound waves and funnel them into the ear canal. It plays a role in directing sound towards the ear drum for processing.
What part of the ear vibrates when you hear sound?
The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, vibrates when sound waves reach the ear. These vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear bones to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
Where does the sound vibrate in the ear?
ear drum
If an insect enters the ear can it break the ear drum?
No.
What carries the sound from the ear drum further on into the ear?
vogh
Which part of the ear trap sound waves?
ear drum
Where do sound waves enter through?
Sound waves enter through the ear canal, where they travel to the ear drum. The ear drum vibrates in response to the sound waves, transmitting the vibrations to the inner ear where they are converted into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound.
Which part of the ear collects sound waves?
The pinna of the ear collects sound waves. This is the part you see on the side of the head.
How do you hear sound through the ear?
when you hear things, its really sound waves. the sound waves enter your ear, then it vibrates the ear drum.
Which sense organ contains the drum?
The ear contains the eardrum, a thin membrane that vibrates in response to sound waves and helps transmit sound signals to the brain for interpretation.
What is the relationship with vibration with sound?
Sound, actually, is the vibration of air. The vibrations hit your ear drum in your ear.
What is the function of the anvil ear?
A tiny bone in the ear which conducts sound from the ear drum to the middle ear.
As sound enters the ear it vibrates the at the boundary between the outer ear and middle ear and causing the sound waves to them vibrate the hammer?
ear drum
How does sound pass through the ears?
Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel down the ear canal to the ear drum. The ear drum vibrates in response to the sound waves, which then pass through the middle ear bones (ossicles) and into the inner ear. In the inner ear, the sound waves are converted to electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.
