Sound waves are made up of longitudinal waves. This means that the particles of the medium in which the sound is moving vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave.

What kind of waves vibrate from side to side and up and down?

Transverse waves vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation. This means they oscillate in a side-to-side and up-and-down motion. Examples include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.


What kind of wave are sound waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
