Sound is a vibration (wave) transmitted through the atmosphere. It does not need to be perceived by an ear to exist. Without air--as in space--no one can hear you scream.

That's catchy! Subsonic vibrations, such as an earthquake, can be felt by the body, but if you hear it, then the vibration is being transfered through the air.
