Sound waves don't change with high or low pressure, but with temperature, because then the speed of sound is changing.
Look ath the link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".

Why are sound waves are described as pressure waves?
Sound waves are described as pressure waves because waves produces pressure by which sound is produces
Sound travels as which type of wave?
sound waves travel as longitudinal waves, that is the movement of the wave is in the direction of travel. sound is made by vibrations, therefore sound waves create areas of stretched apart air (rarefactions) and compressed air (compressions) which are areas of low and high pressure respectively.
What characteristics do all sound waves have?
Sound waves are LONGITUDINAL. This means the direction of the particles is the same as the direction of the wave. Sound waves are a series of compressions (areas of high density) and rarefactions (areas of low pressure). All sound waves are caused by vibrations. They only travel if there is a medium for them to travel along, therefore there is no sound in space, or in a vacuum as it cannot travel.
What waves reach our ears?
Sound (pressure) waves.
Waves that disturb matter?
Sound waves, pressure waves, longitudinal waves.
Are sound waves slow moving areas?
yes they surely are girl.
Why are sound waves are described as pressure waves?
Sound waves are described as pressure waves because waves produces pressure by which sound is produces
Why is the vibration of an object necessary for a sound wave to form?
"Sound waves" are basically pressure waves - areas of higher and lower pressure, that propagate as a wave. You must have SOME means to create those pressure changes, and to do so quickly.

What type of sound wave are they that they allow sound to travel?
Sound waves are pressure waves.
What waves reach our ears?
Sound (pressure) waves.
What are sound waves made up?
pressure waves
Waves that disturb matter?
Sound waves, pressure waves, longitudinal waves.
What are a sound wave?
Yes, sound waves are pressure waves that travel through matter.
What are some examples of longitude waves?
sound waves aka pressure waves
What waves reach our ears on playing guitar?
Sound waves (which are pressure waves).
