What else can I help you with?
Do objects block sound?
Yes, objects can block sound by absorbing, reflecting, or diffusing sound waves. Solid and dense objects are more effective at blocking sound compared to soft and porous materials. Sound may also travel around objects through diffraction or bounce off surfaces through reflection.
Does sound travel faster through a solid block of metal or through air?
Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.
Can sound energy pass through opaque objects?
Sound energy cannot pass through opaque objects as they block the transmission of sound waves. Opaque objects do not allow sound waves to propagate through them, unlike transparent or translucent objects.
What objects are difficult for sound to travel through?
Sound has difficulty traveling through objects that are dense, thick, and non-porous. For example, walls, mountains, and metals can inhibit the transmission of sound due to their ability to reflect or absorb sound waves. Additionally, objects that are designed to block or muffle sound, such as soundproofing materials, can also impede the passage of sound.
Can sound waves move objects?
No, sound waves cannot move objects. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, but they do not have the ability to physically move objects.

What are the objects called that allow sound to travel through them?
Sound is a pressure wave. Objects that "allow" sound to travel through them could be called wave guides.

Witch objects does sound travel through?
Sound can travel through most substances but the loudness depends on the substance.
Sound waves travel only in the air?
No. They travel through water and solid objects also.
Can sound waves move objects?
No, sound waves cannot move objects. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, but they do not have the ability to physically move objects.
Why does sound travel through some objects and some don't?

How do objects make sound?
An object makes sound by releasing sound waves that travel through the air, which we call vibrations
How do sound waves travel through water compared with wood?
Sounds travel better through denser objects and since water is denser than wood, sound travels through it better.
Can sound travel through oxygen?
Yes, sound can travel through oxygen. Sound waves are able to travel through any medium that has molecules, including gases like oxygen. However, sound travels faster through solids and liquids compared to gases.
